You could be right. It's a clever idea. In the BattleBots arena 3 such tiny machines wouldn't be much more than a nuisance, but the Pit in Robot Wars gives them some pretty good chances. Ganging up on an opponent and 'hustling' it into oblivion is a great tactic. It's like watching three stoned meerkats trying to bring down a Cape buffalo without getting stomped on. Er, sort of.
Sorry, my Dutch is even worse than my Klingon, so I can't follow the spoken stuff. Good to see some 'new' action, though. Thanks, Bloop! When used as a robot's name, would √3 be pronounced 'Root Three', or 'Square-Root of Three'? Whatever. If such a cluster bot were competing against one of today's kinetic terror-bots, it'd end up as a 'Cube Root of Three' or 'A Smoking Pile of Irregular Fractions'.
It is a very unique design. If I recall correctly wasn't it the only 3 part cluster bot in classic robot wars?

@@EleanorPeterson They seemed to have decent success. It's good to see the design sort of worked :)
I remember seeing this first brosdcasted on tv. Fryslân boppe!

I believe it's 'Root of 3'
