[edit] More external links. Nothing spectacular for notability.

  • A page showing Blendo as champion in 1995 competition. [1]
  • The bracket from the 1995 competition. [2]
  • When I search google for "combat robot hall of fame," I get this page. [3]

It seems like everywhere I turn I keep coming back to members.toast.net. I would like to find more reliable third-party sources...

Also... I don't see Adam Savage anywhere on any of these pages... maybe I missed him. Maybe he didn't work on Blendo.-- Ben 04:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

See http://www.adamsavage.com/design.html for a reference to the work Adam Savage did on Blendo.

Thanks for that. -- Ben 17:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Important Developmental Step in Combat Robotics

Blendo is a supremely notable combat robot. It was the first successful 'full-body' or 'shell' spinning weapon implementation. Blendo proved the utility of the stored kinetic energy weapon that has come to dominate the sport. It also promoted the development of more effective arena containment to protect audiences from flying debris. 167.131.0.153 16:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
