I absolutely love NHRL and other battle bot type stuff. Thank you for posting this and please post more if you feel the need.
Also, does NHRL allow sponsorships? We should sponsor our own bot. “Hexbot” seems like a decent enough name, but “STRUGGLE SESSION” would be the best name for a hexbear funded bot imo.
Word, welcome. I don't get into the battlebot stuff very much, but Insta showed me a big ol' TransRights bot and felt it needed sharing.
If you’ve never seen it before you should check out the NHRL YouTube channel which posts tons of extremely fun full bot battle videos: https://youtu.be/fVYLi1dQ8NA
I've seen a couple, just can't get into it more than a vid or two. But I'm impressed by the tech from time to time.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I love NHRL and robot combat and it's a trip seeing someone here other than me posting about it.

Here are my current robots, BBYGRL (3lb drum spinner) and TRANS FIGHTS (1lb plastic antweight wedge bot).
BBYGRL fought her first tournament a couple months back and went 2-2 but got pretty wrecked, so I'm working on her next iteration still. Thanks to technical difficulties day-of, TRANS FIGHTS is still a virgin.
were you posting about your in progress builds awhile back? Because I still maintain a shitload of those things would probably be useful against a hoard of cops trying to kettle protesters.
Yeah that was probably before I forgot my old password. I think I posted WIP things for both of these.
Robot Combat just isn't the same without Craig Charles or Mick Foley on commentary
