EVENT REPORT:
2011 Chattanooga
Rob t Battles
● by Thomas Kenney
The 2011 Chattanooga Robot Battles event was held on
Saturday, January 22nd at the
Chattacon Sci-Fi convention in
Chattanooga, TN. This was the
fourth consecutive year the event
was held, and this year’s
competition yielded one of the
biggest crops of new bots and
builders yet.
The fighting kicked off at
about noon with a fierce
antweight double-elimination
tournament. David Rohr’s solid
wedge, ‘The Wrath of Gandhi,’
proved the effectiveness of its own
brand of passive aggression,
Antweight runner-up, The Wrath
of Gandhi, prepares to settle the
score with Rippy.
