    Yeah would be sick if I could pay $100 and be equally matched. Ant League is certainly cheaper, but then it gets silly because you have people with kits or plastic bots, against custom titanium bots.

    Like this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E5ckRtBJ4c

    First match is against a really nifty bot that has a really large plastic pushing wedge, and it did really good with its pins and control, and hits on its wedge did jack all because it just bounced around and didn’t transfer the force to the main body. Like its wedge just worked as a great crumple zone.

    But against a super optimized metal bot it still was a doomed battle.

    Then the bot Temper probably costs as much as a car. That thing is sick, but oh boy does it look expensive.
