Great idea for the piston, and I love the execution of it.

Also, kudos to your dad for mucking in with his program - can someone remind me what the wheel problem was?

The wheel's mesh was turned inside-out to fix the "driving backwards on other bots" thing, which inverts the controls for each robot.


The front-hinge piston looks great, Click. Can't wait for the final release.

You shouldn't need the armor plates on the weapon extenders as well, that should free up some weight.

Use hexplates on the flails in order to increase your weapon count.

Also Jonzu did something literally exactly the same as your MW a few years back. XD

yeah I gotta grind the front edge of the wedge down some. other than that its good

Thats one hell of a washboard there.

the wedge is 1/8 in steel and it takes up more than half the bot's weight

i win the wedge contest

Say hi to Landshark. Don't worry, he's friendly unless you weigh 6lbs and happen to be a fighting robot.

Now that is some swag. You could probably make a copy of the TXT and make it into a weapon if you wanted to.

On an unrelated note my sisters kid saw battlebots and heard from them that I used to do that, now he's all in frenzy mode so I'll be dragging him out to bot bash in a few weeks.

You mean Bot Blast?

Aw man this year's gonna be amazing

15lb robot chassis. Comes with the drive motors, so at only $150 it's probably a steal.
