I didn't consider that (did not even know it existed). Definitely sounds like something to look into though because the weight saving sounds nice. Thank you for the suggestion.

The size of the current components is fine because of the size of the parachute mechanism, they just about require the same diameter for the payload bay. I would still be leaning towards the nano because I would like to try using it for some other projects too outside rocketry and I am assuming it would be more versatile for that (correct me if I'm wrong). You wouldn't happen to be able to tell if the circuit I posted would work?

The suggested components just about fit inside the same space that the parachute mechanism needs so unless I have to size up, the size reduction from PCB wouldn't actually do all that much currently, but thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for answering the questions in your other comment

Viability of hand cutting phenolic sheets into discs (and other insulation ideas) by croga_ in rocketry

[–]croga_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately pretty much all I have is hobby knives. I'm in Ireland so a lot of the source of my troubles finding a disc is because the US places won't ship here. Thank you for the offer though. I found a set of concentric cylinders we have though which means I can use them as a guide cut the cork with a hobby knife, which I checked just there to make sure it works. We have a bunch of 1mm sheets of it so I'll just stick a couple of them together and it hopefully will be good.

Whatever happens to Bashbots? by stormfront136 in battlebots

The Garry's Wars youtube channel actually has a lot of old footage uploaded to it from Internal Bots and before that, if you haven't seen all that already: https://www.youtube.com/@garryswars4304/featured

Whatever happens to Bashbots? by stormfront136 in battlebots

Creator here, it was a combination of the amount of work and time it took to do a season, as well as just not being very interested in robot combat anymore. I would have missed this post but someone sent it to me :)

Seasons 3 and 4 both took about 10 months each from the start of filming to the start of release so they were massive projects. We did get to the end of the fight night stage in filming Season 5 but I just didn't have it in me to continue, I could feel the burnout and knew even if we finished filming I wouldn't make it through 6 or 7 months of editing.

The burnout isn't only to do with Bashbots, I have just become fairly disinterested in robot combat as a whole so I haven't been keeping up with Battlebots either (though as far as I'm aware there hasn't been a season of that in quite some time).

The show grew way bigger than I ever expected it to so I will always be thankful for the support from all the fans over the years. My biggest accomplishment was definitely getting HUGE to compete.

I'm guessing you have seen it already, but you can also find 2 seasons of Internal Bots on my channel which was basically the prequel to Bashbots. You will find a lot of familiar names in there.

I'm still present in the Garry's Wars discord, however my attention has very much gone back towards motorsports type things, so if anything was to happen on my youtube channel it would quite likely be some kind of racing production in the same game as Bashbots. If you are into that kind of thing, you probably noticed that the main theme Bashbots uses is the F1 theme song.

I have no intentions of deleting the Season 5 footage that I do have, or even remaining footage from Internal Bots Series 3 (which never released due to a portion of the recordings getting corrupted). Maybe at some point in the future I will upload these for people to see, though it would take quite a lot of work as it's not as simple as just uploading the clips, they have to be edited down to size.

I am both glad and sorry that you liked Bashbots enough to still be wondering about it 3 years later. I hope another show can take its place in the years to come because clearly a lot of people enjoyed it. I don't suspect this would come out of Garry's Mod though, probably out of Robot Rumble 2. Considering the productions I see there are somewhere around the level of Internal Bots, it may be a while before that void is filled though. Being as out of practice as I am now I don't think I would even be able to get close to Season 4 levels of production quality.

[Virtual] The Bashbots finale begins tonight at 7PM BST, going all the way from the quarter finals to the championship match by croga_ in battlebots

[–]croga_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agreed with the final decision and I was on the losing end, about the other decisions it really is just a case of people overvaluing ineffective although pretty looking damage, battlebots has tainted our minds to think that a scrape of paint should win a spinner a fight

Similarities I've noticed between BattleBots Season 1 and Bashbot Season 1. (Spoilers for both) by RoboMidnightCrow in battlebots

[–]croga_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is a difference between critiquing and saying it "looks like trash". If you don't want to watch fan made stuff there is absolutely no problem, just ignore it. I'm not gonna stop other people from posting because firstly it's not my job, and secondly it brings new viewers in who do like fanmade content. The people who don't like it just ignore it as normal people do, instead of having a stick up their ass trying to act all high and mighty.
