The genius behind the drilling bird bots

Kekoto Maane explains his multi-bot the viral bird bots that drilled into a lipo battery with funny eyes, The Power of Friendship at the NHRL January 2024 New Year New Bots event. The robots are driven by himself & Battlebots Bloodsport's Brian Boxell.

"My bots don't usually do damage"
Meanwhile that very bot proceeds to lobotomize a robot built to evaporate anything it touches

The way the googly eye vibrates while the bot is drilling is EVERYTHING.

"They don't do much damage"
*stabbing another robot in the heart like a starving mosquitoe*

Between Kakono and Tom Farkas, I think we need a new era of "Not Made to Win but Wins Anyways" bots

[michaelspiteri]

His personality is exactly how I would expect the creator of these two bots to be

Just a silly control bot until it rolled up *MINE MINE MINE* and punched a hole in the opponent's battery. Porygon used Drill Peck! It's Super Effective!

"they don't do much damage" (.... because they kill with surgical, ruthless efficiency)

Blue bot *viscously drills into the enemy*
While orange bot is in the corner going *"FUTURE FUTURE FUTURE"*

I love the constant pecking. Like little kids annoying their older sibling.

We gotta get that dude some drill pointed endmills. They can drill vertically and cut sideways.

Someone also had a with robot strapped to a nail gun. This madlad comes in with a power drill. I swear, if someone walks in with a bot with a hammer drill, we're eventually going to have a the whole power tool section of Home Depot duking it out.

I love this man, every one of his builds are phenomenally hilarious.😂

[SteveNonkonyana]

I like that he calls a murderbot, the power of friendship

[bumbalaaa]

“Do you want to play with us?”
“Us?”
“Yes, US!”

[d.robinson]

He's an artist. Freakin' brilliant.

[raymondhamill]

Gives new meaning to " I will defeat you with the power of friendship!"

[qq]

Ok but that's a sick idea and thematically fitting
Love that

[Gurmudgin]

I love all these silly but effective bots. Such fun at NHRL.

[RtRowen]

The power of friendship, and this drill I found

Protect this man at all cops!! He is what makes humanity beautiful
