I was more inspired by this bot.





Alternate weapon configurations for the wedge bot I posted earlier this month

Spiked Wedge and Spinner Killer Plow

LW undercutter, inspired by numerous antweights.

Discovery Channel became full of shows about people doing their jobs rather than cool innovative stuff that provokes deep though. :(

I miss Monster Garage...

Logic: the guy was at a bar, so he was presumably drunk and therefore unable to do simple math...

But that still leaves the question of what is a nun doing at a bar?

Currently the antweights are ruled by either toughest wedge (antelope) or the biggest spinner (Gyroscopic). It's basically a all or nothing weightclass because everything has to be so light. Building an ant takes a different design mindset than building a 30, which is about as low that I would go if I was to build something similar to it.

Go on the builders db, you'll notice 3 things in common with almost all ants: large exposed wheels, they dot look like their larger counterparts, they have a proportionally larger weapon than most other weightclasses (be it wedge or spinner)

So... tonight at work I had to make vegetarian meatballs...

Could someone please explain how that works? I don't get it.

Is the UK definition of Beetleweight the same as the US definition of Beetleweight?

Is there any reason you went with an angled blade for it? It's going to get some wacky gyroscopic forces when it turns because of the angle of the blade.

The only avatar I seem to remember from when I joined is JoeBlo's one of Bender making a boat out of the "No Boating" sign.

Well I work in a kitchen...

Weirdest thing I've made was Buffalo Wing shaped tofu (and I can say they are nasty). It was for some "special" that hasn't been repeated.

So... today for lunch my school served fried chicken, mac n' cheese and green beans. Sans "purple drank" and watermelon could they have served a more politically incorrect meal on Martin Luther King Day?

Hey SKBT, I noticed you aren't registered for Motorama. Something come up?

 Moto is the last weekend of the "build window" for FIRST, and I was told I needed to be around to finish the build.
Are you sure that's really going to fly?  Aerodynamics is complicated stuff...
 
It'll be cool if it does fly though.

I subscribe to the "Brick Thrust Theory". (the idea that with enough power anything can fly)

The Viper isn't going to be competitive with it's chassis but if it's still selling for $110, its a steal, in terms of what you get out of it.

This is what happens when me and a couple of my friends get bored..

To the tune of "I like big butts"

I like big bots and I can not lie 
You other minibots can't deny 
That when a bot walks in with an itty bitty chassis 
And a drivetrain in your face 
You get springs 
Wanna drive that bot 
Cuz you notice that bot was stuffed 
Deep in the casing it’s wearing 
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring 
Oh, bot I wanna drive ya  
And take your picture 
My minibots tried to warn me 
But that cRIO you got 
Make Me so jealous 
Ooh, casing of smooth Lexan 
You say you wanna get my Banebots 
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average robot

Your local walmart, dollar store (or whatever you call them in the UK) or kitchen store sell UHMW cutting boards. UHMW is similar to HDPE.

I've used it for a couple of my bots.

What?

My school should have a CS lan party.

Who thinks that's a great idea?

I can do better...

I had a RA2 LAN party with some of my friends on the robotics team last week. I discovered my IRL DSL bots can beat DSL noob bots.
