Dragon Con 1995, Robot Battles was the debut of the Panty Bot.
Originally, it was called "Dragnet". The idea was to ensnare my opponent in a net. To add a little humor to the theme, I included a couple bras and panties with the net. As it turned out, rather than getting caught in the net my opponents got tangled in the bras and panties. By the end of the event, everyone was calling it the "Panty Bot", so by popular demand, that became it's given name. Apparently, lingerie is more treacherous than a net and more dangerous to my opponents than any other weapon! The Panty Bot has been tweaked and modified each year but has always remained in the 12lb class. It took a 60 pounder to finally defeat it in 2002. (Shout out to, "Little Piece of Hate".)
NOTE: In this video, the bouts between "Panty Bot" and "Evil Cubed" must be some of the longest lasting in Robot battles history so, for your convenience I sped up the slow parts by 400%.
