OK, the headline here buries the lead, but, as any reader of this blog knows, I cannot resist a good pun. Of course it can be argued that “good pun” is an oxymoron, but I digress. Perhaps a better headline would read, BattleBots! Hell Yeah!!!
Yep, we had the pleasure of interviewing two participants in the ABC robot fighting competition television show BattleBots, for our client Dassault Solidworks. The BattleBots engineers use Solidworks, a 3-D modeling software, when designing and constructing their mayhem machines. This is pretty cool, high-tech geekiest stuff. I was in heaven… and apparently Daussaults dedicated audience of engineers, designers and fellow killer robot fans love the videos too.
The two videos posted here are the longford hero videos that appear on Solidworks’ YouTube page as well as on a dedicated page on the Solidworks website. The dedicated community of engineers that follow the site love seeing all the different business and applications that use the software. We also cut a couple of one minute and thirty second versions of each video that were used in social Media to help drive traffic to the hero videos. Check them out and feed your inner nerd.
