Let’s talk details! 🤖
One question the Button Knight gets asked all the time is: “Why aren’t the pockets covered in buttons?” 🧐
There’s a method to the metal! I keep the pockets open to serve as a special gallery for backed pins and unique “odd” pins like the ones you see in this photo. By giving them their own space, these special treasures can truly shine and be shown off without being buried or damaged by the rest of the armor.
Every legendary suit needs a place for its rarest loot! 💎

Even a knight in heavy armor needs a moment of peace! 🛡️🐕
The Button Knight had the absolute honor of meeting Reef, an incredible therapy dog with a story you truly need to hear. Beyond the robots and the competition, Reef is a reminder that taking a moment to breathe and connect is just as important as the next match.
Mental health matters, especially in the high-energy world of robotics. If you see Reef around, please go say hello, hear his story, and soak up some of that positive energy.

The quest continues! 🛡️✨
Here are some of my favorite shots from the Michigan State Championship! More to come soon! It was truly a pleasure meeting so many fellow collectors and seeing the incredible passion behind every team’s pins. My armor is leaving the venue a little heavier and a lot more legendary thanks to all of you.
The journey doesn’t stop here! I can’t wait to see you all at the next competition! 🤖

Heavy is the head, and the shoulders, and the back, that wears the buttons! ⚖️🛡️
The official weigh-in for this season is in, and the armor is tipping the scales at a whopping 56.5 lbs!
Every competition adds a little more weight, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Who’s ready to help me hit 60? 🤖
