I just felt like changing the image on the home page what do ya think? Also, gradually cleaning up and updating minor sections of the site. There sure was a lot of old stuff here! Let me know if you see stuff that needs updating or if you would like to see any other features added to RobotCombat.com, and as always, if you see any recent news articles with Robotic Combat featured, please send it to me! Thanks

I also hear that my lightweight, Backlash, is on Comedy Central again tonight in one of the lightweight rumbles! Don't miss it!

Also, Backlash was featured on AOL at Keyword: BattleBots! Check it out!

I finished Nightmare's San Francisco BattleBots 2000 report. I also added a few new photos to Nightmare's Photo Album.

I finished Nightmare's photo album. I'll add more pictures every once in a while and I'm aiming to have a similar photo album for each of my robots. Enjoy!

Special fan recognition time! Keegan Hutto, a fan who saw my robots in action on the Battlebots TV show on Comedy Central, got to work right away and made a tiny Lego version of Nightmare! It really works too (and kicks some lego robutt)!!

I made a page just to recognize the effort he put in to make this cool little robot and videos.

Awesome job, Keegan!!!

RobotCombat.com is proud to announce the setup of its own dedicated internet host server! Now I can stop worrying about drive space restrictions and traffic issues as this site grows. I will definitely be taking full advantage of this over time, adding a TON of new video to the video page and plenty of new robot pics as I get them. So, stay tuned for some big additions to RobotCombat.com!

In the meantime, RobotCombat.com is proud to be hosting some other robot builders' stuff on the new server. Jason Bardis, of Infernolab Robots, is now storing several cool videos of him and his robot on our server. You can check them out on his InfernoTV page.

If you, or anyone else you know is interested in getting a robot-related web site hosted with RobotCombat, or just need some server space to store robot-related stuff, please feel free to contact me.

I also organized the Nightmare page a bit, it was getting messy. It's still got a ways to go, but at least it matches the site format that I'm moving towards. Watch that page for more updates soon.

Wow, is it September already? To keep things neat and tidy, I've archived the August updates below, if you missed anything, you might want to go back and read up on what happened, it's been rather busy lately....

Christian Carlberg over at CoolRobots.com has certainly been busy! He just finished a major update to his site, including an awesome (and very useful) Robot Database, new pics and now he's even selling cool miniature RUNNING versions of his Heavyweight bot, Overkill! Check it out!

I've been digging up more media coverage of BattleBots, check it out on my media page for some new additions over the last couple days. As I see it, I post it. Let me know if you see any articles out there that I've missed! Thanks!
