This was the third Bridgewater-Raritan Battle Royale (a.k.a. (BR)2). We've been to all of these, starting with the inaugural event in 2009 (there was no 2011 (BR)2).
Another competition with a driver training focus. As a result of limited turnout, Sab-BOT-age was able to register two robots (Prime & Deux) as 1640 and 1639, respectively. Three new drive teams were able to gain competition experience. A concerted pre-competition effort was required to bring Deux into working and fighting trim. This effort paid off.
Our 2nd robot, Deux, playing under the nom de guerre of 1639 (Tipsy Honeybadgers) and shared by two prospective drive teams, together with 1st alliance partners 869 (POWER CORD, alliance captain) and 25 (Raider Robotix), was a champion of this competition.
Team 1640 (Prime) was selected just ahead of 1639 by the 2nd alliance, teams 1403 (Cougar Robotics, alliance captain) and 225 (Tech Fire).
