Are you thinking of the Steel Conflict arena?

Alternate wheel option: http://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=snap-wheelsSaves having to buy the snap hubs and lite flites then tearing the lite flites apart to put them on the snap hubs. If you go with the 1000rpm motors, get the 4mm bore snap hub, if you go sparks, 3mm snap hub. If you go beetle, 2 sparks is going to be very close to the lower limit as a workable drive. You'd be better off with 4 sparks if you want to use silver sparks for drive.

It dawned on me today that what I've essentially done with the magmotor powered hammer attachment for Nyx2 is design a miniature Beta hammer gearbox.

I'm actually surprised by the amount of entries so far. Thought there would be more
Urjak, MikeNCR, Gf93, Ounce, Coolrunner, Conraaa, Scrap Daddy, Akshaylan and Avalanche aren't joining this time round.
May or may not have missed out a couple of people
but yea, what happened? BB7 had 30+ entries per class
Been signed up for weeks.

I hope they eventually come back to Texas, that would be nice. 
Best bets from Texas are Dragon Con in Atlanta or the southern California events, neither of which are exactly close.

It's going to get Apollyon's spare wedge (after some modifications) and for the first version, will have a free swinging prong in the middle cavity that can catch the puck (or other bots) and let it drive them around. Eventually I'm intending to add a powered weapon to the middle cavity that'll have a similar structure. The Tikibot is getting some Apollyon style horns added at some point soon.

Figure it's time for a few updates. First, meet Hypnus:  Hypnus will mainly be used at Dragon Con and for bot hockey. Still haven't settled on who will actually be driving it for either. Second, the bot formerly known as testbot:  This will be driven at Dragon Con by John, who drives Reptar. Planning to use it for bot hockey as well. Third, Nyx is due for a redesign. Here's the concept as of a few days ago:  In theory, it should take under 5 minutes to switch from any weapon to any other weapon. I'm planning to have all three active weapons ready for Motorama 2015.

Finished up the last of the work on the active weapons today. The weight with the circular saw is 29lb 10.8oz and the weight with the chainsaw is 29lb 5.8oz. The axe attachment is done, and there's just a bit left to do on the hammer.

Test spin of the chainsaw attachment:
Real gearboxes should ship mid week, which means I may have it properly working by next weekend.

Still have to make the legs/feet for both configurations, but the weapons are coming along well-

First test video with a placeholder attachment to avoid damaging the floor:

Here's an internal shot, it's very tightly packed-

Spanky is wired up and running. Weight is just a hair over 22lbs as pictured, leaving almost 8lbs for weapon configurations. The spike wedges are 1lb 3.4oz and will be used primarily with the axe and hammer weapons. I'm intending to armor up the chainsaw and circular saw attachments as heavily as the weight budget allows me. Here's a finished shot with the high visibility paint job-

Here's the chainsaw attachment in progress:  Still have to cut the slots in the arm for the sprockets and finish welding the teeth in place. For now they're all tac'd in place as I was running low on argon for the welder. When done it'll be powered by a 775 size motor geared down to a tooth speed of approximately 20ft/s.

New Sportsman/Dragon Con 30 for Julie to run at events-  Current planned attachments are an Axe, a hammer, a custom chainsaw, and a circular saw.

Thanks. Probably helped that I had several initial designs then moved forward with one based on the feedback I got.
