That actually looks insanely awesome. It manages to look crammed but still very aesthetically appealing. Great job.

My BattleBots 6 entries.


The lightweight, ESPer:




The weakest of the entries, and the middleweight, Virus:




The heavyweight, Quietus:




This is the, and my first, super seavyweight, but Mass' thinks it's a heavyweight. According to the DSL uploader, it's 800+ to 2000+ weight limit, this is 811+, so this IS a SHW, right? Sanzen:

Because it's slow, and won't do any damage with its speed.

BREAKING NEWS

BattleBots 6 middleweight entrant, Virus deemed "irreparable" following a test battle, on Saturday evening; a replacement has been made.


After what the team were thinking of as "a laugh", they came to the conclusion that a battle between a flipper and a spinner, was not the smartest idea they've come up with.

Virus, the flipper, was ripped to shreds by its heavyweight counterpart, Quietus, when it apparently went "out of control". The damage is so severe, the robot can not be repaired in time for its scheduled upcoming BattleBots 6 participation. However, the team have successfully found a replacement, following a fresh clean-up of an old; now new, former prototype, Clerisy:

It looks nice, but I wonder how it will do in the arena. This angle connectors for support look like a weak link.

I'm predicting the lightweight will be the only one to win at least 1 match, hah. Even then, I can't see it winning.  :rage

I hope our middleweights meet.
If only because I'm hoping for a Fluffy vs 259 style match.  :dumb)

Is that with or without, your reliability issues, and my chain motor issues?  :dumb)

Antweight: Abandoned

(Image removed from quote.)

The robot was found underneath a snooker table, wrapped up in blankets within a box. Totally not stealing Lister's life story. Luckily, the person that found the robot was a roboteer - coincidence! It was such a mess, and the person had no money, he decided to find random bits of metal in a junkyard and put it back together. Thus, Abandoned was [re]born!

What's extraordinary, is that this was the second time a robot had been found - by the same person. The roboteer went to a car boot sale, but was disappointed in the lack of robotic parts. Just when he thought it was a waste of time, he noticed a ripped flag sticking out of a bin on the other side of various sellers' tables.

Curious, he walked over to it and looked inside the bin, to find a broken, lonely robot. He tipped the bin over and dragged the robot out, which had a pretty big hole in the back of it along with various puncture marks on one of the sides.

He took the robot home and desperately tried to rebuild it, with the leftover metal he had at the time, and thus... Abandoned Sr. was [re]born!

Nice skin. I would add something to protect the weapon motors though.

Compared to some of your other bots it's a bit disappointing IMO, I think it would look better with a different wedge and without the random dsl disc.
