Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Here's my second attempt at Hard Cheese, there were several things I didn't like about my last one so I started from scratch.  As before, it's got a wedge shape, some spikes, and the rat on the front.  I used HP Z-Teks, so it's a real speed demon.


Monad, a robot with a pair of pincers, the first sideways crusher replica in my collection.  Its body was made out of a dog carrier cage.

Nice work as always, are those iron spikes on Monad or is there no real weapon on it?

I used the iron spikes just so that it would have real weapons.  I realize they're the wrong shape, but I liked how they look when they overlapped like that.

It's the belt-drive motor from the Lu-Tze component pack.

Slippery Strana, a lightweight bot with an octopus on the front.  "Strana" is supposed to be a combination of strawberry and banana, some fruit juice company could use that.  This is a very simple robot, but I wanted to do it because it was the series 2 lightweight champion.


This is the reason I was asking about rust a while ago.  This is Sump Thing, a grungy, rusty robot with a crooked axe as a weapon.  I put the discs on so that they turn with the burst motor.  Dig, the captain, was described as "A new-age roboteer striving to compete against the super-electronic forces of the future"  Again, that man plays with machines that could kill people.

EDIT: Credit to Sage for the rusty skins

Nice work.  You really went all-out with Sump Thing.

At this rate you might someday be making replicas for DSL.

So, I understand it's been a tough week for the republicans.  Between losing the white house, and losing several seats in congress, I can understand how y'all must be pretty upset.  So I got you guys some presents to cheer you up.


Here's a robot built in homage to America's pastime.  No, not baseball, there's too many blacks, Mexicans, and Asians in that.  No, I'm talking about NASCAR.  This robot is built to resemble a racecar, and it's got a front and a rear flipper.  Its name is GBH, which of course stands for "george bush is hawesome"




There's nothing like having all your white friends over for burgers and beer.  But what happens when one of your friends can't get a bottle open?  Try as he might, the bottle won't budge, and it makes him so mad he could just burn a cross.  Well, that's a thing of the past thanks to Corkscrew.  This robot allows you to forego those hard-to-open bottles with its spinning body that can smash right through them!  It's got 6 blades on its body and a bizarre springy thing on top.  It's from Scotland, a gift from one beer-loving nation to another.

To make the top of corkscrew work like a spring, you should put it on a skirt connector, because it can wiggle when hit.

There great as always, Nice Job :biggrin:

Both of those are nice, SR.  Great work.
Input is appreciated. :)

The Iron Mask, a robot with an axe and a couple of small teeth for ramming.  You can probably tell that I concentrated more on form than function here, as neither weapon is particularly effective (The axe is attached to a low powered servo motor:baby_smily:.)




Ruf Ruf Dougal, a robot that's supposed to look like that dog on the show Dougal.  It's got a spike that shoots out in front.  Probably intended to be a joke entry.

I have a good replica of Hamunaptra (battlebots), but I can't find a pic bigger than a postage stamp. I know that there is a website where there is a pic of every bot of every season of Battlebots, but I can't find it. I was going to pull the pic from the original BB website, but it is now down.
