Impressed with my work on remote controll, I decided to make a more effective clamp.
Dine And Dash



A less threatening name, but much more effective bot.  Hitting insane speed and now with a srimech, It does insanely well.

Remember, DON'T FEED THE BOTS _{They can't digest human food very well}

Pros: Great clamping action.  Srimech.  Crushes with amazing force.
Cons: Tough to self right

Hello, you're in the land of Pieces of Crap and the occasional Shining star.
Please enjoy your stay.

I have a weird obsession with Clamp bots.
So I made this.




Diet includes this weird thing that reminds me of Captain Shrederator, Fruity punch, and occasionally snow job.



Pros: Traps opponents of all sizes.  Does great damage.  Tears off multiple pieces at once.
Cons: Batteries fail quickly.  Slow Side spinners (I used drive motors, because I believe they have more torque?).


Impressed with the work of Stinger in battlebots, I decided to recreate him.  It evolved multiple times until finally ending with this.



It has a small balance problem at the moment.



Pros: Fast, good wedge, flips/grinds opponents well.
Cons: Balance when weapon is on.  Exposed motors.

Keep wedges aligned with chassis.
Pay attention to the battery lengths per motor.
Hinge > Sheets any day.
Make the smallest chassis possible.
Bigger weapon = Bigger punt
Avoid messy extender work
Weapon support makes bots gorgeous.
Srimechs=Boring
Stop using multi-extenders for IRL bots.
Have wheels either all in or all out.
