You'll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the BattleBots competition -- plus untelevised events any true bot buff should know. Robot Riots includes in-depth profiles of 20 leading robot builders and contributions from many more.

Contributors include Christian Carlberg (Minion, OverKill), Mike and Lisa Winter (Mecha Tentoumushi), Greg Munson, Trey Roski, Marc Thorpe, Carlo Bertocchini (BioHazard), Jim Smentowski (Nightmare, Backlash), Mark Setrakian (Mechadon, Snake, The Master), Reason Bradley (Toro, T-Minus), Jonathan Ridder (Ziggo), Gage Cauchois (Vlad the Impaler, Vladiator), Grant Imahara (Dead Blow), Jason Bardis (Dr. Inferno, Towering Inferno), Ilya Polyakov (Blade Runner), Donald Hutson (Tazbot, Diesector), Bob Pitzer (Team Raptor), Fon and April Davis (Mouser Mecha Catbot), Steven and Lowell Nelson (Half Gassed, SLAM), and many more. Let the builders themselves tell you about the most bodacious battles in history and get a huge payload of tricks and tips from the people who have been there and done it! |
