    Hey guys... most of you probably don't know, but my main hobby and passion is in Combat Robotics... no seriously.. when deadly robots smash each other to pieces... yeah thats me... lol.. anyway I just wanted to share this montage of the RoboGames 2012 competition I competed in as Team Vortechs.. and btw: we got 3rd place in the 60lb combat division with my robot "Vortechs" if you were wondering.. but yeah.. I thought it might interest some of you... also .. have any of you guys heard of combat robotics?... and have you guys seen it in person.. it is an amazing sport and you guys should really check it out ;) btw: can you spot me in the vid? ...
