In Monday's robot battle, mention was made of a robot and creator being frankensteined(tossed in the closest body of water). anyone know why this happened?
As I recall... The competitor's bot was heading for the edge when he blocked it from falling off with his knees. That could very well have been an instinctive reaction and most of us when called on it would have accepted the defeat with grace. He didn't. He then followed it up by running his bot ( a big black plastic spider-looking thing) across the floor and into Kelly's foot. It wasn't heavy or fast enough to cause an injury but it was just an asinine move.
From that point, we saw pitchforks and lighters in the crowd and heard someone yell "Kill the monster!"
