Comedy Central presents BattleBots just released a new streaming web video about Team DaVinci Robotics and Moebius.

Head over to the Videos page to check it out.

On a side note, one of our team supporters and close personal friends, Coletta, just won Monster Band of the Year. They have an aggressive sound and killer rythm. Head over to their site to listen to some of their music and be sure to look for them in the future. You will definitely be hearing more about this band!

Battlebots and DV Garage just released the first, internet only, behind the scenes look at Battlebots Phase 5. We were completely surprised to find out that the video was about our team. We are all blushing and bursting with excitement and honored and speechless and everything else you can imagine. We cannot believe how lucky we are this season.

We could not have done any of it without the help and support of our fellow builders. Thank you to every builder who has answered questions for us, offered us design advice, and pointed us in the right direction when we could have gone way down the wrong path. We owe a great deal of gratitude to all of you and will stand by and support you and root for you and your team.

We are honored to be able to say that we are a part of such an incredible group of people.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Well, this is the day that we premiere on Battlebots Season 5.0 so we wanted to try to get our new site up and running in time to coincide with it. As you may guess, since this is the first time the site is going live to the public there may be some typos and some pages may not have all the data in them yet. But rest assured we will be working diligently over the next few weeks to get everything loaded in here to make this a one stop shop for all your robotic questions.

If you notice anything unusual or certain pages aren't working with your particular browser please let us know. This site has been tested using Linux Mozilla and Konquerer and IE 5 with sastifactory results. Netscape however doesn't seem to like some of the nested Java Script for the drop down menus. So we have also added other methods of navigating the site.

There is a lot of stuff here so feel free to look around at your leisure and let us know what you think.

Happy roboteering!
