Pledge $1 or more Pledge $1 or more
Thanks for helping out! With the money given from you, we could get a couple feet of wire, or maybe even a couple bolts! Thanks a lot, you.
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
For a $10 pledge, backers will get a nice handwritten thank you, as well as their name on a list of people who helped that would go on our t-shirts, and our 'building of the robot' Youtube video we are in the process of making.
Pledge $20 or more Pledge $20 or more
For a $20 pledge, backers would get their name on the FREAKIN' ROBOT, as well as all of the rewards above.
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
For a $50 pledge, backers would get the above as well as blinky LED thank you note. It would be awesome. Trust me.
Pledge $200 or more Pledge $200 or more
Now we're talkin'! If they someone were to donate $200, they would get the rewards above, AND a big note of their design on the robot that would be clearly visible from the stands, as well as a nice, welded thank you note.
Pledge $1,000 or more Pledge $1,000 or more
If some crazy person decided to donate $1000, the first backer would get to choose a new name of the robot, within reason. Yeah, really! They would also get crazy specialized welded and blinkie thank you notes, a big note on the robot, and whatever else I've already said. We'd also love you forever.

Team Wonderblend is made up to two crazy Highschool Freshman: Ethan and Ashlen. We're both into things like motorized armchairs with flamethrowers, DIY Segways, twenty five foot tall trebuchets, giant steel robots that destroy other ones, just to name a few. Yeah, that's us.
Hey Roy!
Yeah, sorry about that. We had a few server issues, there. I guess the Youtube page is where you could find Wonderblend stuff. Unfortunately, yeah, there aren't really any more bouts than that, although it would be nice to go fire it up and destroy some stuff though, wouldn't it?
For our first time we didn't do too bad, I think, but we did certainly get killed. Ashlen and I are casually looking into upgrading/modifying Twist-O-Crunch for future competitions, though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch… Ah, perhaps it did. Glad to see that. If there are any videos of other bouts, let the 47 of us know, eh?
Oi! What happened!? I take my eye off of you cats for a few months and your site's down, and there are no updates here? Did this thing actually get built, or what?
Yeah, we gotta do some blog-postin'. Sorry for the lack of updates. I'll update it tomorrow when i feel less tired. Well anyway, we just started school, so that takes a lot of time, but we've been working on some more electronic stuff, and getting the weapon all set up.
Been a while since the last blog post. How are things coming?
Hey, add ME TOO to " I think you guys are cool and terrific"--keep your backers informed of your progress, I think that I can speak for all of our interest. Grammamimi

Oh thanks for apologizing. I didn't see that until now.
Hey Jarred,
please don't post hateful messages on here. It doesn't benefit anyone. Seriously, uncool.
Thanks,
Team Wonderblend.
I am sorry I posted that commet about Alec Noonan. It in no way reflects the views of team Wonderblend or their backers. Sorry
Alec Noonan is stupid
