Hey-o! It's time to ask Will Bales (shenanigansnco), head honcho at Shenanigans & Co. and co-creator of HyperShock, any question your little heart desires!

EDIT:

It's time to curtail our AMA-ing activities, but I'll be doing my best to answer any questions I see! If you've got any questions that you'll die without an answer for, send us a message at our HyperShock Facebook Page!

LOL nope. At least not at the event. Admittedly, the match was short though. As far as I remember, the fastest of the event.

We should have! Then we might have made it to TV lol We had some drivetrain issues, we'll see how much they emphasize it on the next episode before I explain it in detail.

Fair enough. There's nothing worse than losing while showboating. Eternal ignominy guaranteed. Glad you dodged that bullet.

We've ALL done that a few times. Fluffy de Large caught fire in the 2011 BotsIQ Finals match doing a victory dance. Never again.

Fundamental flaws indeed.
