Colonialism

Here is a video of one of Tombstone's predecessors. Very, very fearsome machine, and hopefully Tombstone will be just as great if not better.

Indeed. Last Rites packs a 25 horsepower Etek motor and a 75lb steel blade spinning at 2200 RPM- far stronger than anything the old TV shows offered.

Unfortunately, it seems the Adam Savage AMA has taken some attention off of other AMAs. Especially considering yours and Adam's must attract similar crowds! Oh well.

How much did you know about the other competitors prior to the competition? Which ones did you fear the most, going in? Were there any matchups you did/didn't want?

Thank you!

So Beta was once again unable to compete? I saw it on the preview from Tested and was looking forward to finally seeing it in action. I guess that explains why I haven't seen it in any commercials. Well, there's (hopefully) next season at least.

1. Who did you think would win/do well prior to the competition, but after you knew the roster?

2. Were there any robots in particular that surprised you, either from performance or design?

3. Were you expecting every other question to be about wedges when you started this AMA?

4. What does it feel like to have the design you pioneered with La Machine be so disliked by common viewers, to the extent you have felt the need to eliminate it?

5. Favorite robots that never appeared on a TV series, either from not being featured or only appearing after the cameras left the sport?

6. How did you select the matches? Did a computer randomly select who would fight who in the first round, or was it done by hand?

Thank you!
