Tug of War

TUG OF WAR
The bugle of the war is on.

It's the powerful sound of this bugle that gave Rani Laxmi Bai, the courage to pick her sword, Maharana Pratap,
the strength to stand alone against all odds and Porras, the power to consistently fight against Sikandar.
Indian warriors have fought some of the most epic battles with great bravery and gallantry and Indian history is
itself the proof of these exemplary battles. Mahabharata, being the most remarkable of all, left a message for the
generations to follow that always do what is morally right. With this spirit of warship, let's hear some really solid
bots clash and clatter and give in their all to win the fight.
So, the war is ON. Are you guys ready to battle?
