Sad that's the end of our outdoor events for the year. It's been so fun with our pals at LHG!
Thanks everyone for an incredible turn out on Saturday! It was such a lovely conclusion to the summer series - great bots & fights, a great crowd and some mega food and drink. A huge thanks to our volunteer crew. Fight video tomorrow :)

The actual dream
Introducing Short Circuit, a delicious BBBxLHG Grapefruit Radler!🍺
At just 2.5% it's the perfect beverage to crush while watching bots crush each other. Short Circuit is exclusive to our 2025 LHG Taproom Summer Series, starting this very Saturday with New Blood, so why not come down and hang out?

Super proud of this video and this quite large undertaking of a project, big up the other BBB boys and all the people that helped make this possible ♥️
We're very excited to post this video of a project that's two years in the making! This is our 'not a podcast' on the process of building our (fairly new) beetleweight arena! We hope you enjoy :)

And this is the silly heavyweight robot we do!
Hello Bluesky!
This is the Two-Headed Death Flamingo, the fiestiest avian you'll ever find.
It's a 110kg heavyweight combat robot from the UK, and over the next few months we're going to be ramping up for what's sure to be an exciting 2025 season.
Come follow us, we promise we're not winging it!

We've joined Bluesky! Hopefully a happier place, and it's nice to have that larger character limit.
Going to do our regular socials posts on here too for a while, see how that turns out.
Happy bot building :)
PS we love our volunteer crew <3
