The Axial was cool tonight but stupid to use for that test IMO. The weight and the way the Axial works is totally different than a 1:1 in that situation. And it seems like they are grasping for stuff to test sometimes. The hammer fist thing isn't a myth? It was a stunt! But they have been testing stunts forever so I guess it's ok. Just a dumb one.

I agree. It was an extremely stupid test. Fun to watch though.

Pretty sure RCC has seen its fair share of what the members will do to her

Jamie built one of the OG Battle bots "Blendo"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J8N3...eature=related

It competed in Robot Wars for over two years and was never defeated.

Grant built Deadblow.

Grant was Champion on Battle Bots and still runs that same robot around on the show from time to time.

They sure killed a lot of 1:1 XJ's

Anyone else see the flaw in the test procedure? They tested the amount of weight needed to get the bumper down to the ground, not the amount needed to lift the rear end. Then they did the math, dropped the giant fist and guess what, they never got the rear wheels up

Although in all honesty there's no way any 1:1 vehicle is built strong enough to withstand the weight you'd need to do that flip. I saw a lot of bent axles.
