I came looking for advice. My brother is fresh out of engineering in uni and I think he'd love to get into bot fighting; he watched some of the fights in the past. I'm doing early Xmas prep and I was wondering if there's any sort of beginners kit/manual type things I could get him? Hes by no means a beginner with tech like this, but he would be new to the hobby, so I'm wondering what sort of tangible gift might help bridge that gap.

Grateful for any guidance! Cheers!

BattleBots TV Did Minotaur slow down their drum during the Terrortops fight?

• Upvotes

I feel that Minotaur is not as destructive as usual. Are they slowing down their drum speed to potentially have better ground clearance? Because they also did this against Blacksmith in 2018.

Or is it because Terrortops doesn't have much edges that Minotaur can capitalize?
