Have you seen it in action?

RFS · « **Reply #5 on:** July 25, 2014, 01:26:31 PM »

dat ultra metallicus tho

(Seriously that's an awesome design, I've built a similar spinner before and that type of disc is really powerful.)

Also good to see that The Chaos Engine is the only robot of its kind in the event. Against Clickbeetle I expect a repeat of BattleBots 9 and by that I mean he will win because my proof of concepts don't fight well.

Your design is definitely unique, dude. You'll know the victor soon as the videos are uploading to YouTube as I type this out.

Thanks! :3 I have more fun finding new designs and ideas 11 years into this game's life than I do actually meticulously making the most effective robot possible. That's the challenge I derive from it and it's a lot of fun for me.

For everyone else: Since the splash is a little nondescript and the videos are not yet posted, The Chaos Engine has two of the very large DSL discs for wheels each mounted onto the dual Perm motors. The discs have spinner shell parts on them and each shell part alternates between having 1 or 2 small drum pieces. On the ends of these drum pieces is an antweight wheel. Essentially what this does is create a giant custom tire that actually has traction so you don't get that weird sliding ice physics nonsense you get when you have saw blade tires and stuff.

That's the biggie for Chaos Engine at least. It also has a lot of decorative parts but I won't spoil those yet. :3 Overall the robot has the least amount of actual weaponry in the event, it is armed with a giant custom bulldozer blade, pneumatic ram, and some spinning discs. For all that, however, the weaponry doesn't make up that much of the bot's overall weight (4980 kg).

Gotta say, I was expecting that loss... but I wasn't expecting Clickbeetle's bot to be able to throw The Chaos Engine around like that. Jesus christ. XD

Also, it looks like that pneumatic ram inside The Chaos Engine's plow makes for a nice secret weapon, it almost took out Clickbeetle. :P

Moving on to the semi-final.

Mom's Spaghetti has been removed from the wildcard round as he keeps crashing my RA2 game when there are two other UHW's in the match. The wildcard match will be Malware Xtreme vs The Chaos Engine.

rimp
also note to self do not make robot front heavy or put things on top of it

Semi-Finals are up. 3rd place and final last.

yugitom · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2014, 05:37:24 PM »

Final is up.

Anyone want an exhibition/grudge match? Make the request as soon as possible if so. I'll do the rumble to make this move faster but I will take a few requests if anyone at all wants a re-/match.

Can do. Just finished the rumble but I gotta hit the hay (1 AM in the UK right now,) so I'll upload it and the rumble later.
