Robots Showcase / Somebody is going to build a robot
« on: November 03, 2015, 10:24:09 PM »
I have the approvals in place from my school. I'm building a robot for my college senior project, and I have the money saved up to do it. I am unbelievably hyped. Building a 30lber for Motorama 2016 is the goal, going to mail off my registration tomorrow since the signups are opened I have noticed. 7 people already signed up on a 16 bot bracket  :thumbdown

General Support / Windows 7 Help/Tips
« on: August 20, 2012, 09:42:50 AM »
Hello, I have a new Windows 7 computer. I want to install RA2 on it but it is not going as smoothly as it does on my old XP computer. I want to be able to install RA2, and then put in all my old AI packs and versions. I already have all of the versions copied onto the computer, I just need to install the actual game and put them together. Tried it earlier but it didn't work.

Some crazy videos have started to make their way onto youtube of it.











And yes, that IS a go pro mount on Sewer Snake



There are a bunch more go pro videos on Sewer Snake's owner's channel (mattmaxsr)

Edit: Another good one from the owner of Raging Scotsman

Real Robotics Discussion / Somebody's Senior Project
« on: March 31, 2012, 09:40:00 PM »
Well I present on April 11th, so I figure its about time to start.

I am planning to CAD a 30 lb robot for my senior project. Doesn't have to be super beautiful and doesn't have to be amazingly accurate, because I'm pretty much the only kid who knows a damn thing about robots in my school AFAIK, and there is only gonna be a few people at the presentation anyways.

My plan is a 30lb robot with an eggbeater weapon. Haven't decided much after that, but thats not too important. I need to basically know what parts are the best to use in this, and a place I can get a sheet metal quote and the eggbeater weapon.

FYI, the project is to make a CAD Robot and to do some stuff about combat robotics in general, probably editing together a video of some bots (hence my earlier thread on the subject). I will be using Autodesk Inventor 2012 Student Edition (is free), which I am somewhat familiar with already.

Thanks

Real Robotics Discussion / Battlebots Toys
« on: March 18, 2012, 04:48:51 PM »
I got a cousin hooked on my Custom Series battlebots toys (the cheaper RC ones) and he wants a Killerhurtz one. I want to keep mine and none are on ebay (although some will pop up eventually, they usually do). Does anybody have anywhere to get any of them? I got money not expecting a handout.

Thanks.

Haven't actually downloaded anything yet so I don't know if it I some student version but it appears to be the ful software. If you are a college student, high school student, or a lying sack of s***, you can sign up and get pretty much everything they sell for free personal use. AKA no moneymaking.

Real Robotics Discussion / I need EVERYBODY's help
« on: December 28, 2011, 10:42:35 AM »
For my high school senior project, I am doing some stuff about roboteering. Probably designing a bot in CAD or something. Anyways, part of the project that I am doing is to edit together a video of robot combat. I want it to have lots of hits and excitement in it that show people how cool robots are. That's where you guys come in. I want you to post videos in this thread of robot battles with some kind of cool part or moment, preferably short. A long back and forth match (that we find exciting) isn't what I am looking for. For example, I already have some stuff of Ziggy and big hits from spinners and big hts from Storm II and stuff like that. Whatever you can think of (even if I jut wrote it; I may have missed a match or two!), post a video of it here.

Preferably I would like to have different events in there too. Some robot wars, some Battlebots, some other stuff.

Sooooooo yeah please help :gawe:

Discussion / Real world learning what we've known for a while
« on: July 09, 2011, 08:37:36 PM »
This shows that flails are more effective! The weapons stand up to more abuse against tough things (like against a chain link fence, or razor tips against a 70kg hammer), they do more damage (cutting through plywood, or eating up bot armor), and that 8 is the best amount of lines (or weapons). I think that they'll end up with 10 or 12 on there one day though.  ;)



Yes I say this jokingly, but it is honestly what I thought when I first saw the commercial.

Was he banned? His account is no longer in the list under members, and all his posts are gone. Was he someone else double-accounting maybe?

Its always annoying when people ninja delete posts, so why not have something so that when a person deletes a post, it is just a blank box and says

Creativity Showcase / Somebody's iRacing Paint Showcase
« on: November 28, 2010, 05:07:16 PM »
I recently started painting cars in iRacing. I asked someone to paint a car for me, looked pretty simple, fired up GIMP, finally figured out how to use it, and started. So far I've made $20 (people are willing to pay for the paints!). This also means that you might see me competing in future BOTMs  ;)
Here are the paints I have so far

Matthew's Mobile Media Late Model



Orange Stripe Mazda MX-5 Roadster (Made $10)



T&W Tire Late Model (Made $10 from this and the truck)



T&W Tire Truck



I'll post more as I make them

Anybody ever shop on there? Bought my first thing off there today, the RC Helicopter they had. Got it for $30 on the condition that my parents stash it away for me for Christmas.

Helicopter: Syma 3-Channel Alloy Shark Helicopter

Off-Topic Discussion / In need of some help
« on: October 26, 2010, 08:36:41 PM »
Background:
I turned 16 in May. That puts me just 2 weeks away from 16 and a half years old.
For nearly the past year, my Eagle Project (for Boy Scouts) has sat nearly idle.
For my Eagle Project, I am planning to make a new war monument in the downtown area of my town to recognize the soldiers who fought in wars who enlisted from my town between the end of Vietnam and 9/11.
I need to have it done by my 18th Birthday.

I need some freaking motivation. I want to do it. I want to do it more than anything I have ever accomplished in RA2, iRacing, Ace Combat, and any other game I have ever played. I want it more than Varsity Baseball or JV Basketball combined.

I need help to get myself to do it. I need motivation. I know how important it is. I know how big of an affect it will have on me.
I know how much regret I would have if I never finish it.

Any tips to get working?
