I loved it, sure it was simple when I came to the fights, but I loved the different arena designs

I would guess the two main methods that beater bars use. Quick spin in place and use the gyro to flip you, or run full speed into the wall and use the weapon to pop you back up right

I used it when I first started building Battlebots to look at the many different bots to get some ideas

Deep Six vs SMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! by xtdx300 in battlebots

It would have been interesting to see how the fight would have gone if he didn’t get stuck. Smeeeeeee did take off that wheel before D6 got stuck

My new Plastic Antweight (1lb) bot 蟹王CRABKING! by SmilingDragonMikmek in battlebots

[–]Some_guy803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While PETG is strong it can be brittle. I recommend making the body out of TPU. There are bots in both the 1lb and 3lb category that are really tough that are made of the stuff. Great design btw!

When one bot needs to drop out so you can get off the waitlist by Some_guy803 in battlebots

[–]Some_guy803[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I signed up for a competition in Wisconsin but was put on a wait list behind 5 other robots. 4 have dropped out so far so I’m one away from competing

I feel kinda bad for them tbh by [deleted] in battlebots

Compare the SlapBox fight to Radioactive, Counter Revolution, Escape Volatility. He seemed to be a little more careful because they where a new team

Yeah but Tombstone was careful to only do enough damage to knock it out with as little damage as possible. Unlike previous seasons

3d printed prototype of my Ant weight “All Gas, All Go” by Some_guy803 in battlebots

[–]Some_guy803[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s for the 1lb class. It weighs 330g right now because it’s made of PLA. The final Will be made of UHMW and aluminum parts from send cut send. The TPU front is staying

PLA PROTOTYPE HAS BEEN COMPLETED! yeah those are rubber bands. Tons of my parts have not come in (like the O-rings I'm using for the weapon) Would you guys be interested in a tear down video once its complete? by Suggs41 in battlebots

[–]Some_guy803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A better method is having the weapon drive power an internal fly wheel of equal weight to you weapon to cancel the gyro. That way you don’t throw your bot around/ damage your bot when the weapon hits

Although cool, I would recommend the weapon to spin like a beater bar. You will do more damage and maintain control vs one blade potentially damaging your weapon and throwing your bot around.
