Last months event was BBB's 50th! How time has flown. We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's crewed, competed or spectated at our events, it means the world and we absolutely love doing them!

Here's my BEV feather for tomorrow! A bodged lob-ster 🦞 - a Mammoth inspired rotational flipper. Made over the course of a few afternoons with scrap materials from our workshop! (no CAD, hand cut, minimal measuring haha)

It should be good fun, probably will faceplant quite a bit and may start to disassemble itself! Can't wait for tomorrow, lots of cool bots going :)

This arena been such a fun project to work on, can't wait to take it out for the first run in May :)
It's time for the worst kept secret in BBB history, we've been spending the better part of a year designing and building a brand new full combat Beetleweight arena!
