I guessed about right as to what people would send in for lightweights. We'll see how the last minute bot does...

File has been sent. Lets see how well a bot built in under 20min does.

OK, I'll get something out in the next hour.

List updated, only Urjak and Nary not to have sent bots, and Urjak doesn't have a backup bot
I'm currently making splashes, so they'd better hurry up
I thought Freeziez sent something?

Now to see how the armored wedge idea holds up.
Seeing as you're here, I've got to commend you on how well done Warrior looks. Does the body spin like it does IRL?
Yep, it's fully functional.

Just collecting all the projects/ideas in a single post
Existing Robots:
Moros: Ready for the next event
Apollyon: Chassis is redesigned and ready for machining
Kobalos: New gearboxes are on the way, if they work it's ready for the next event
Coming soon(ish):
Nyx: My next big robot project, time to completion depends on when I get a full time job and how much I make.
Unnamed Ant: My girlfriend had a blast driving Kobalos and has asked me to build a new robot with an active weapon. She was a big fan of Jukid at Motorama.
Edit: I've also just had a terrifying idea for something hilarious. I need to figure out if it'll actually work though. I think I've figured out how to make a proper walker (ie, 100% weight bonus) that I can run via a single stick and 3 servos.

I awknowledge that I have been sent Ounce's entry and a backup bot for Urjak (by freeziez)
I really think feeziez should have let someone else send in a backup :P
I'd have sent something, but I've been way to busy/exhausted with exams, robot competitions and job interviews this last week or so.

It's a bit less available from what I can tell, and for the 12, most of the chassis has to be lighter than that, since I've only got about 5lbs for the structure.

Yeah, it's going toward the style that I used in Apollyon for Battlebots, where the sides are bent back to provide better protection. (I didn't model that in as it'll be cut flat first)
Also, 1/8" titanium for the wedge instead of 3/32" steel.

Wait, why do you remake bots so soon? :P
Do your bots not last more than one event, because the more recent apollyon has only had five fights, and you're already retiring it?
Lol, Explosion's had EASILY 50 fights by now, if not nearing 100
It took some nasty hits between the Surgical Strike and Devour fights. About 2 of the internal frame members aren't bent in some way, and all of the bolt holes that would hold the wedge in place are stripped out.

Moros vs. Formidable Fustigator 0.9
574
« on: February 20, 2011, 10:24:07 PM »
Apollyon finished 3-2, with losses to Surgical Strike and Devour, wins over Zandor, Cantankerous Cowpoke and Jumbonator. Due for a complete rebuild.
Moros finished 2-2, with losses to Steel Shadow and General Disarray, wins over Gloomy and Formidable Fustigator 0.9. Ready for Moto 2012 or wherever I take it next.
Videos will slowly trickle online. Got a ton of footage in 720p.

 Quick screengrab from the match with Steel Shadow

What post has Kobalos in it? Search only brings up this robot, and the post you just made.
Possible CC entry
In a quick test, it KO'd Hypnodisk pretty easily
A bit more progress-

Ok, brief update.
Kobalos: 0-2, great rumble. Lost a spark gearbox in every fight which made it tough to do well.
Apollyon: 2-1, beat Zandor and Cantankerous Cowpoke, lost to Surgical Strike
Moros: 1-1, Lost to Steel Shadow, beat Gloomy. In the fight with SS, Moros tosses itself up to about eye level and flipped over. Yes, there is video. It will be posted once I'm on a better connection along with a bunch of better video.

I don't know, but it seemed unfair that every time I did a match with a flipper, the flipper would always win. :P
And I like the BBEANS V2 Arena better. :P
