New superheavy robot Rammstien. This was built by Korey Kline's team -- he was the guy who hooked me up with the regulator for my CO2 system, Nice first appearance at Battlebots for the whole team.

Team Minus Zero and their long time robot Frenzy. This robot is a crowd favorite. Being able to easily flip yourself over is a big bonus!

Ray Scully's Abattoir, another old name, new robot thing. This seemed to be almost completely rebuilt from Las Vegas.

Don Lariviere's heavyweight Mjollnir. This robot also took large damage from the arena saws -- right through what appears to be a steel, aluminum and lexan -- not to mention putting a serious gouge in one of it's pretty chrome wheels.

Another returning veteran, Tazbot was there again. This robot has a lot going on at once with it.

My favorite robot of the show, Mike Okerman's Gammatron. This was built by the team that brought us the camp, but largely ineffective, Namreko 3000. Gammatron was a heavyweight walker that used an unconventional 2 legged system. One leg provided forward movement, via a big square foot, and the other foot provided the turning via a rotating pedestal that was in the center of the foot. It actually could walk quite quickly, and it proved to be quite stable and hard to push too. All in all, a great robot.

Another shot of Gammatron. The top was a rotating turret that had an electric motor powered axe on it, similar to Frezy's.

The newly improved Mauler. This robot laid in some major hurt to it's opponents. It ended up winning the "most agressive" award. Congrats to the whole South Bay Robo-Warriors crew!

Jason Bardis' Dr. Inferno. Jr. -- a nicely modified Omnibot-2000. BattleBots 2000 also saw the retirement of his other lightweight, the Missing Link, I hope that Grown Ups doesn't need him for any more episodes!

A broken weld and some bent tubing on Grayson's middleweight walker Peg Leg. Ouch!
