200 lbs of flying fury… shoving the other heavyweight Combot over the steel I-beam.

This is a frame grab from the video I took of the action at the Maker Faire semifinals.

The red-wheeled Sewer Snake is the #1 ranked Heavyweight robot of all time. It is the reigning ComBots Cup champion, and the RoboGames international champion.

Here is the Sewer Snake build report from Team Plumb Crazy.

    Ouch!

    Not surprising though, because it is a scientifically proven fact that red goes faster!

    Heh… this was Sunday work. =) I was staffing the WIRED Geekdad booth.

    Todd: In case of a tie, the judges vote on damage and aggressiveness. The red robots look more aggressive. You can see it in the video.
