I just saw a spinner kick the living crap out of this mean-looking beer keg smasher — knocking him out of this weekend’s competition. A word to those of you who haven’t seen a live competition of this sort: it’s a lot wilder than it looks on TV. These robots knock parts off each other and send them crashing into the lexan shields at an alarming rate. You can clearly hear a “THWACK.” Wow!

My significant other is Puerto Rican and addicted to boxing. I’m an engineer and addicted to robot contests. As I mentioned elsewhere, I just wish they had these back when I was in engineering school!
