Mike, bugger off with the first post hype... are you really 12 years old (sorry, not trying to insult the decent 12 year old people out there).]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/
I hope a little upstart company crushes them (in the ring, in the ring)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/I was just doing the first post thing, cause I think it's hilarious how bad the flamewar got yesterday about it. People who get upset about it need to get over themselves and get a life. Who does it hurt, and what does it change. Chill and get that "bugger" out of your @$$.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/

No, it doesn't count when you cheat. I was first.

A "conventional" bot could do those two things just as easily without the dot net hype, nor the insane price tag.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/
Also, he seems to think that the bots are using electro-mechanical control devices, which is false. All the modern robots use electronic speed controllers custom designed for figthing robots.

Battlebots is dead but fighting robots aren't,

That bot would get torn to shreds in any competition. He may have a slightly advanced control system, but all his mechanical systems are total crap.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/09/finalizer-the-microsoft-battlebot/Dec 19th 2005 1:23AM
