Smushed Banana - Robot Combat Team

Well originally we were going to call the new bot Juggernaut

But it has been renamed after reusing the brown spray paint left over from furious George 😂

Say hello to DOMO KUN ready for Extreme Robots this weekend in Colchester

Haven’t heard from us in a while?

Well that’s cause we were busy with Ragnarök - Battlebot at BattleBots!

But there’s a few beetle tournaments coming and well there hasn’t been any new primate bots yet...

Well lookey here - we are making something big and non monkey related for a change...

I wonder who that could be.....

I spent the weekend in Dorset working on something new with a very familiar face, I wonder what this could be for...

Been at Extreme Robots Cheltenham this weekend unfortunately no weapon on Furious George due to the Captain forgetting to bring spare bushings - however getting in some much needed driving practice!

Also lending a hand to Apex - Team Terrafonics and whoever needs soldering or something cut and smashed back into place 😂

Lack of weapon means Halloween inspired makeover! 👹 🎃 👻💀

Last weekend was the first outing for Furious George and a return of S***k the Monkey! All at Insomnia 63 at NEC courtesy of Robochallenge and King Of Bots!

Some great fights and a qualification for the knockouts with Furious George (despite having some weight issues the night before and not even being finished until thursday eve). A few tweaks and he's going to be spot on.

Great work from all the team and epic effort all round!

However - sad news S***K the Monkey has passed. He's had a wild year of everything from insomnia to heavyweight rumbles at extreme events. But finally he's gone!

However the team has already begun on our robot for next years tournament 😀

And keep an eye out Furious George at Extreme Robots upcoming events!

Also look out for more information regarding S***K....
