For my 20th birthday, I got a BattleBots: Design and Destroy game for my GBASP. For those of you who don't know, BattleBots was an insanely popular TV show back when TechTV was still around, and remained so for about seven to eight minutes. It's still fun as hell, though.
Now for the bragging. I'll post the bot's equipment going into the final (NOT their initial builds...I forget what changes I made), along with their times. All fights lasted 2 minutes, and all fights in the same weight class were in the same arena. Fights that ended in KO include the count-outs in their times. Those that ended on time are scored aggression first, then damage and strategy. The fact that each category adds to 15 is no coincidence, that's how the game works. (I also have yet to surpass the finishing amount of $16591 that I attained with this run.)
Lightweight Divison Bot: Potemkin
Chassis: Boxybot

Results:
KOed Toecrusher in 0:46

Middleweight Division Bot: Faust
Chassis: Spinbot (machined aluminum)
Tires: Hard Foam Rubber
Motor: Rare Earth Magnet
Battery: Rechargeable Nicad Pack (there is a difference)
Weapon: Kinetic Weapon 2
Armor: Double Layered Steel Plates
Arena: Airplane Graveyard

KOed Deadblow in 1:07
KOed Sunshine in 1:21
KOed Control in 1:05

Heavyweight Division Bot: Dizzy
Chassis: Cylindrical Spinbot

Note: It's very rare when I have the edge in aggression, especially this far into the game. Dominating 15-0 in one category doesn't happen very much, either.
