Impressive hardware, but their reactions would be funny if it wasn't so sad...

This week has been an emotional roller coaster at Megabots. Monday we were excited, but anxious, about how the fight video would be received. By Tuesday night, it morphed to happiness and satisfaction, as we watched the fruits of two years of labor manifest before our eyes while millions participated, then sank into the depths as people began posting how much they hated the fight before Eagle Prime had even taken the field. We kept hearing from people that loved it, but the negativity got in our heads. We were so happy to finally pull the fight off and share it with the world, but what was next? The floor of the shop was filled with uncertainty. We knew we'd never make everyone happy, but was there a way to bring people back who didn't like the duel? Could we keep doing what we loved? Finally, to end the week by finding the instrument to sing our song...
We saw the complaints, we read the bad press. If you haven't given up on us, if you still want giant robot combat, if you still want to see misfit engineers and outcasts live their dreams in the only place they've ever found happiness, come to our twitch channel! Watch us test the robot! Watch us break things! Watch us break our own things! Watch us talk about the things we're breaking!
Impressive hardware, but their reactions would be funny if it wasn't so sad...
