Rocket City Robot Assault Videos (Robots)
This page contains 320×240 full rate Quicktimes of all of the non-insect fights recorded at Rocket City Robot Assault.
They are recorded as MPEG4 quicktimes, so you will need Quicktime 6 or better to view them. As they are fairly large and my bandwidth is not, please be patient as they may load quite slowly.
These videos are © 2004 AnimEigo / SECR. If you are a builder, you may make copies of the fights and interviews featuring your robot, for your personal use and for use on your team websites. All other use or redistribution is forbidden without written permission of SECR and AnimEigo.
The rating (from 1-10) is my personal subjective rating of how exciting the video segment is, for use in deciding which fights make any commercial DVDs. Your mileage may vary, and don't take any comments personally, after a full day of editing I get a bit sarcastic.
Apologies for the borked HTML!
