The History Of Beer Bash

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 2 of January , 2009 at 4:13 am

Building a combat robot is probably easier and more fun than you think; all you really need is the proper motivation. And what better motivation could there possibly be than having Lagunitas Beer sponsor you? Enter Beer Bash:

[ Edit- the Current.com video is f***ing up our Wordpress, so you'll have to click here to see it. Sorry :( ]

We saw Beer Bash compete at RoboGames last year. Yeah, it wasn’t the most successful robot in the ring, but it was definitely a crowd favorite. It’s a little bit of a cliche, but it’s true: when you’re fighting with robots, it’s even fun to lose. I think what happens at 3:00 in the video pretty much sums it up… Trying to use a tiny little beer keg robot as a battering ram is not in the least bit effective, but it’s damn funny.

Легче нести ахинею, чем бревно.

Если что-то понятно само собой, то кому оно нужно?

Спасибо за ответы на все вопросы :) Действительно узнал много нового. Правда до конца так и не разобрался что и откуда.

Я вот подумал, а где Вы материал взяли для этой статьи? Неужели из Вашей головы? :)
