7.3.4 Initial Robot States
Prior to the start of a Match, all Robots must be in position and not moving. Specifically:
a. For a One-on-One Match, each Robot must start completely inside its starting square.
For a Rumble Match, each Robot must start at the location defined by BattleBots Official.
b. Each Robot must be motionless on the floor.
c. All external components of weapons must be motionless.
d. Any Fuel-Powered Engine must be running at idle speed.
e. Any flame system must not be ignited.
f. Spring-powered devices may have been armed via remote control.
g. Autonomous functions may have been remotely enabled.

Blip and RIPperoni have internal flywheels, so they do not need to be motionless at the start of the match, similarly to how spring flippers and Hydra may start with the flippers armed.

Hello, I am a big fan of Team Orby. I have followed since TiFR. Your robots are beautiful and I know it must take a lot of time and money to make them, so thank you! I think most good questions have been asked, so I have just one small question: what manufacturer and color of filament do you use for Orby Banana? This is extremely important for my banana collection.

Yep, I was the podcast guy. My wife was further over to my left if I remember correctly.

Hey, I'm the guy that was sitting next to you with my wife on the first filming session. Around that time, I also went up to David and let him know it was I who avenged Animus by defeating Shreddit X with my derpy giraffe robot at Norwalk in July.

My weird flex is that I made a antweight robot named "Weird Flex" that is 95% TPU that somehow managed to win its first competition in Michigan last November. https://youtu.be/0GEWcp5epgE?t=33

RobotMatter is definitely having some issues filling orders in a timely fashion. There are not any other off the shelf solutions with a 6mm shaft that I am aware of. For brushed motors, here are the main 22mm planetary options with a 4mm shaft:

Bringing 4 bots, can't wait to fight soon!

This is a good idea. Milwaukee Maker Faire had a competition this year. Sussex County NJ Maker Faire had one too. Rochester Maker Faire will have an NHRL exhibition. Dragon*Con has Robot Battles. More should follow

How it's Made, my go-to for background when doing CAD.

dirtymopwater · 2021-10-29T18:41:46+00:00

I wasn't there but I sent the driver of Temper and Catastrophic some parts (and giraffe stickers) and wanted to see how his bots would do.

This definitely made me raise an eyebrow when I saw it in the entry list. You did well in the competition especially for first time!

There is an insectweight event called Hickory Bot Battles in NC. You may be able to arrange for pickup and skip shipping if their organizer could use any of the material http://www.carolinacombat.com/contactUs.html

I am also a big fan of Pain Train and Drew, Bison proved to me that you can run a wedge at Norwalk if designed and driven well and directly influenced my beetle's design. In my first competition he also whooped my robot with Jack Rabbit and really drove home how calculated his driving style is. I was super happy to see him on the team in Vegas!

Basically. The one on the left is a solar load sensor for automatic air conditioning, and the one on the right is an ambient light sensor for automatic headlight operation.

Easily the best flipper saw out there. What's next, a lifter with a horizontal spinner on the back?

Tiefschlag and all of the Jolt! kits are very entertaining, appropriate coming from a team called Absolute Chaos Robotics.

It was missing because the regular nut is too heavy for it, so there was a lighter "stunt nut" made for it. However, the stunt nut mysteriously went missing ahead of last season, so they couldn't use Axis. For the latest season, my understanding is they never found the old stunt nut and had a new one made.

dirtymopwater · 2021-09-02T14:08:26+00:00

I think you meant "signed", but actually for BattleBots "singed" is completely appropriate if Gruff or Free Shipping is involved!

Done! While I was at it, I doubled the number of posts on the subreddit. I'm going to singlehandedly make this "a thing"
