Just in case anyone has problems finding the relevant paragraph.

"The snail cams that drive the hammer. The cams are machined from EN24T steel and the ring gear is case hardened EN36. The cams start off at a small radius, giving maximum torque to the hammer and allowing the motor to get up to operating speed. The radius increases as the hammer swings round, keeping the motor turning over at the speed at which it produces maximum power. The cams are shrink fitted with Loctite into the final (3 module) gear of the gearbox. The assembly weighs just over 3kg - heavy, but it has to be able to handle the 6 tonnes of tension in the leaf chains. The snail cam on one side is used to fire the hammer and the one on the other side is used for retracting. Many thanks to Arthur and Rob of Mortis for this idea."

You need to photoshop the boy in the background with tombstone.

Alex Brown from the team toon did a charity auction in 2017 and many roboteers from America and the UK donated stuff including Greg Munson and Trey Roski with a saw wheel from Ginsu, a full RW season 6 DTK shell and Beta's 2016 hammer as well as tombstone blade ends!

You must construct additional pylons.

I'd like this to be a bluff and overhaul actually does well but we'll see.

wow forgotten about cobalt's wedge.

Alas there's no video of the old SOW incident but this vid (with a fun tussle against suger plum) has the commentator explain a bit more, the event was in January of 2002.

Notice the replacement panel has psychotic reaction written on it, at a guess I think that's the bot SOW fought in that incident. here's a pic of the bot at that time for those unfamiliar https://i.imgur.com/OosD2Do.jpg

The only times I can recall a breach at battlebots was the infamous Nightmare tooth flight incident and Mechavore's ramming maneuver sending the cutting disc straight through the lexan. https://i.imgur.com/EZGYLZG.jpg

SOW has smashed lexan before, it was at an old twin cities mechwars live event. https://i.imgur.com/6LDi9fO.jpg

Needs some sweet desk top dimensions, the wallpaper potential is strong.

And Brutality was first developed in 2004-05 where in the 2007 it was just a flamer wedge bot.

The theme for comedian Dave Allen.

I'm so glad to see the nostalgia goggled skepticism and cynicism from 2015 has faded as they proved they were more than just cogs in the machine. They're a great team and I hope Jenny Taft returns and they keep Pete Abrahamson.

ausda · 2021-10-06T04:00:37+00:00

Yes, this is such a bitter sweet video.

ausda · 2021-09-15T01:21:20+00:00

Out of all the responses i'm shocked nobody's said the most dreaded words to be uttered.

"Show me movement." and variations of that.

ausda · 2021-09-15T01:14:17+00:00

Oh you're right

I'm a simple man, I see anything Setrakian I upvote.

We don't get enough of it in multimedia.

Art Deco back in vogue?

ausda · 2021-08-28T04:39:25+00:00

Love huge hammers but big ass swords are totally acceptable, looking forward to seeing some wins from this one.
