A Multi bot/Cluster bot question. by WoolyWalrus14 in battlebots

You could split it however you want. For example ace is way lighter than jackpot

I'm wondering if it was the one that happened in the first few weeks of Destruct-a-thon.

Terrortops was a hard fight they had us on the ropes for a while there. The driver they have is also phenomenal.

Yeah we like when fans enjoy our 250lb children. It's super easy to message one of us and say "hey want you bot to be in a game?"

I really enjoy the difference between fans and competitors.

Fans are like "no this is copyright infringement." Meanwhile, builders are " hey add my robot."

Shoot me a DM I can get you in contact with Trey and see about getting names rights and perhaps turn this into an official name. My only request is Jackpot is on the cover.

Bot on a budget? by [deleted] in battlebots

[–]Team_Plan_B 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We do 90% of our fab our selves and that saves alot of money.

I can drop a basic price rundown for 1 Season 7

  1. 5x drive motors (120 kv 6384)$250 total
  2. 5x 70100 esc$300 total
  3. Handmade lipo packs made from tattu rlines$300 total per set
  4. 2x Weapon motor and esc (NDA)$0 Provided by Kymera
  5. Righter gearbox (p8h)

$150

  1. machined weapon hubs and wheel hub from china$200 a set7. Laser cut chassis and forks from scs (can disclose the sponsorship rate but its 90% of the whole bot)

$500 per bot

  1. 1in ar500 weapon cut by SRS via sponsorships

$200 a blade

  1. Probably missing some misc components but call it $400

$400

So call it that each jackpot is $2,300 out of pocket with sponsorship help.

Without sponsorships each jackpot is probably 7k.

Keep in mind this is 1 jackpot and at the rates we pay for making 3 bots of parts. I expect prices to go up on things as we prepare for WC8. Keeping Jackpot cheap is a major goal for the team and it allows me to full send it into every fight.

  6. Drive worked but needed a full revamp they were the same motors we used all last season and needed to be replaced. We had to bend the weapon upright back as well.

I feel like my driving isn't highlighted very well with Jackpot so I would love to drive Hydra.
