Competeing isn't all just glamour and glory. There is a lot of damage that occurs even to the match winner. Here are some pictures of what Moebius' shell looked like when we returned home from Battlebots.

Here a shot from Ankle Biter. Heavy Metal Noise did something similar to us last season but this time the shell was designed to minimize the effect of a hit like this.

Look at the indentation in the shell at the top blade! We had a 10 pound sledge hammer to try to knock little dents like this out. Wasn't easy though!

All of the welds held up fine but the CP-2 Titanium kept stress fracturing under the high shock loads.

Here's a nice little divot that Ankle Biter put into one of the blades

Here is a good long deep scratch courtesy of Phoenix

The top still looks pretty good.

Look at all the battle scars.
