Preparing to Battle


Photo-A-Day #3062

Tomorrow I am headed to New York City to battle with my friend Adam Cohen of Dada Rocks. We are battling together with Battroborg Battling Robots. I was sent a set of robots to check out before the event. I took them out and gave them a test run. My kids helped me get into fighting shape with these robots.

Eva was excited to play and even Andrew gave it a shot. It was great for him because he just flails the remotes around and his robot goes crazy! He was a good fighter except he kept picking up the robots. I am really looking foreward to tomorrow night’s event in NYC. Details are found at Dads Night Out: GAMETRUCK PARTY to “Settle the Score” With BATTROBORG. You can learn more about Battroborg at Facebook.com/Battroborg.

We were sent the Troll Tank Gun Down set to play with and review. Opinions of the toy are 100% my own.

Flameslinger is one of those characters that I enjoy playing as in Skylanders games, very much. He’s got cool powers, is blindfolded and a crack shot with the bow and arrow. He’s also one of those characters that I like to use when you have to be speedy. Flameslinger hauls and he burns up everything around him. I was very pleased with Flameslinger as a MEGA Bloks toy. He looks great, has some fantastic details and equipment. He also gets to take on a tough troll tank.

I filmed it upside down so I could freely assemble the set and then spun the video right side up in Adobe Premiere Elements. I also made the music on Garage Band. My first time making some music. I started with one of their pre-made songs and added to it.
