You could simplify your setup. Check out my setup, it's about as simple as you can get. It might give you some ideas.

Also you don't have enough weapon speed to punt anything.

Looks to me like a rack and pinion with a cam drive or crankshaft pulling a linkage that has a rack on it which would swing the axe. Seeing the insides and lack of intricate machining really makes me wonder where they spent all their money...

"Toro is trying to self-right with that 1000 PSI pneumatic ram. Let's see if he can do it."

Contrary to popular belief it's only 1000psi at the first "flip". In an unregulated co2 system the pressure drops considerably after each "flip". In my flipper I loose ~50 psi per flip, even though liquid co2 martians around 700-1000psi the conversion from liquid to gas freezes it which then lowers the pressure which means less flipping power. So in conclusion it's perfectly valid for them to question Toro's ability to self right with a 1000 psi flipper.

Edit: Also if the ram doesn't have a powered retract stroke it could get stuck in the "extend" position and be unable to retract. (see bounty hunter vs ragin scottsman for an example)

Robot Wars was rigged, battlebots had filler crap...


I prefer NERC...


If battlebots  was on an appropiate channel for what it was; Spike, Speed, or Discovery and took a different approach to the show and presented it as how Spike presents UFC cage fights I think it would have been much more successful.


If you've been to a robot combat event you'd understand. The atmosphere is very similar to a race or any other motorsport. I could almost compare it to a Freestyle at a Monster Jam event, but it's not quite that exciting. 


>Implying that Monster Jam isn't rigged.

I never said it wasn't...

Dude that is sick... If only people made bots that cool IRL.


Ah, I see. I just think they look a bit flimsy, personally.

It's not like they are supported any more inside or outside the bot.

I like the guy's style. Wedge horns looked cool. Also gave me an idea on how to make it invertable.

Lol my dad bought a cop car and I was driving around with it today scaring the sh** out of people riding their asses hahahahaha

My street is at a fairly busy intersection where no one ever stops. The guy who lives at the end of my street bought an old crown vic and parks it on his lawn facing the street. It's pretty funny watching people blow through the stopsign and then stop once they see his car.
