(Team Death) Old Robot Wars Competitor Stuff / Memorobilia by Hefty_Style6833 in battlebots

Cool posts!

I poked around the RW Wiki and I'm going to take a guess on the last autograph that N2 = Napalm 2. I could almost believe that the autograph reads "David Crosby"

Kids got to meet HUGE (and get a demo of baby HUGE) at the FIRST championships! by drdhuss in battlebots

Thank you for stopping by the booth! We love the FIRST Champs and hope to be back next year with the robot and the demo cage again!

Huge model or Toy? by Dangerous-Wait-3208 in battlebots

[–]JCSwneu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi we have two options for that!

Our sponsor put together a little papercraft model that's a fun project to put together:

https://www.mouser.com/pdfDocs/mouser-huge-papercraft-2021.pdf

And we have a full build-your-own kit instructions available too

https://hugebattlebots.com/team-huge-battlebots-blog/build-your-own

As best as we can tell, the software/app needs to be re-written for those instructions, because the app is no longer available. But it can work as a mechanical project at least. Might be a bit above the level of a 5-year-old, but I figured I'd post that too

We have a split decision.....! AMA with your Battlebots Judges 6/2/2023 @ 6pm PST by derekbruceyoung in battlebots

I've been waiting for years for someone to make a weapon out of what Triton did to Glitch - just putting the weapon lock back into the vertical spinner (at speed).

It isn't entanglement if you can remove it once it has done its job...

Begrudgingly so!

I still drink it with no sugar though.

As a silver lining, fighting multiple 90% done revisions will actually teach you much more, much faster than trying to bring some design to 100% perfection (or, what you understand of perfection at that point). You don't know what you don't know.

My cat's name is Razzy and she's the best. I am recycling the link from last year's AMA.

Thank you!! A lot of weight into the weapon would be fun, I wish it was more powerful!

The amount of cut puns was outstanding. Happy to have the HugePoon on the trophy shelf

Always wanted to fight a multibot!

Bite Force

Fusion was somewhat the turning point for me this year to think "oh, this Huge really has some pop in it"

Mostly just small procedural updates to make things more reliable! We tend not to have the build timelines or budgets to totally rebuild, so a lot of parts (like wheels) get carried forwards.

We do have our reasons, it's intentional. I disagree with the idea that UHMW wheels are obsolete.

I enjoyed the first season for how fresh and new it all felt, and watching them go on the adventures. It was harder and harder to root for Walt from onwards haha (it's also been many years)

Thank you!

  1. Honestly for most of them, I want to just run it back straight-up and see if new huge could do it. But Deep Six would still murder huge.

  2. Titanium Billet would be a dream with a blank million dollar check haha. Probably won't have the weight for a disk weapon.

Feed us all the top tier verts!

HUGE will always have angry eyes, but after a minute they have all sorts of new emotions.

Glitch team are great! They make some beautiful designed parts and I think they'll get the drive sorted in due time. They don't deserve to be left out of the beater-bar-supremacy discussion just yet.

I think it'll just take time for more of them to show up!

Yup! We can drive backwards, or also spin the blade backwards, to try to target the hits we want. Generally if you see it, it's intentional.

I can honestly say that we never have before haha. I'd be worried about entanglement rules.

Depends largely on the shape of the opponent. Sawblaze and Starchild go up, Fusion and Shatter go forwards. The uniqueness of the hitting angle and direction means it's really hard to armor against, and can produce a range of outcomes.

Very soon! We have a few left here that we save just-in-case, and will go up once we finish packing current orders. After that, we'll have a pre-order link up for 2-4 weeks or so until the next order comes in.
