Our Robots

robots are only as good as the team!

While this has always focused primarily as a father/son project, many outstanding people have contributed to the team's success over the years! The value of support from family and friends cannot be overstated, and like all mechanical sports, a great measure of credit is owed to the pit crew. Check out our current roster!

highlights

Tombstone vs Beta

A classic match between two top bots! This went the full 3 minutes, with Tombstone taking the decision!

Tombstone on one wheel, again.

Tombstone always seems to provide some acrobatics in the arena, this time to the delight of the judges!

Last Rites vs VD6

This is one of the most famous photos in combat robotics history, showing a huge hit between Last Rites and VD6 at the International Robogames event.

Post fight interview

Tombstone made it to the finals in both season one and season two, so I believe we were the only team to be interviewed by Alison Haislip in every one of her outfits. Here we have BATTLEHAIR!

Tombstone vs Bombshell

This is the final match in season two. Tombstone wins by knockout over Bombshell and takes home the Giant Nut!

Most Destructive Award

Tombstone ended up winning the Most Destructive Giant Bolt award in season one. Warhead won the Best Engineered award that year.

Tombstone vs Jackpot

A shower of sparks from a big hit in the 2021 season.

BattleBots Arena

Isn't that beautiful! It would be a shame if someone.....damaged it somehow!
