Thought of an idea for a tournament style that probably hasn't been done before so I decided to give it a shot.

Discussion / What is the most balanced arena?
« on: September 23, 2018, 10:32:15 PM »
I know a handful of tournaments use the RW2016 and Robogames arenas but I was wondering what else you guys thought was balanced and if these arenas that are used the most are fair themselves

Robots Showcase / 8bean builds bots IRL

Hello everyone! 4 of my friends and I got together and decided to build two bots. We had limited resources and time so neither of them came out as expected.

The first bot is Sean.

Sean is a beetleweight wedge powered by 4 22:1 silversparks by a 3c 12v lipo. It was originally supposed to have a servo lifter but due to weight constraints it had to be removed.

This caused Sean to have a lot of excess space and be way too large.

The second bot we made is named Vaughn.

Vaughn is a mantisweight thwackbot that was made at the last second with spare RC parts. Rushing this bot out was a poor decision on our part because at the event we had a full electronics malfunction and had to forfeit it from the tournament.

Sean fought in three matches. This first match was against a plastic coffee cup and would determine our standing in the tournament based off of the damage we had done to it. Needless to say our wedge could do very little against it so it basically became a game of ram the cup as many times as possible.

Unfortunately, after this match we discovered that both of our back motors had become disconnected from the gearboxes. We spent an hour and a half troubleshooting these motors but couldn't get them to reconnect correctly to the gearbox.
The second match it fought in was against a very small overhead bar spinner named WISPTEC. Prior to this battle, WISPTEC had shredded its weapon bar mount when fighting the cup. Since the bar couldn't be repaired in time, a wooden ruler became its primary weapon for this match.

Our third and final match was against the feared Rapid Unscheduled Dissasembly. Lets just say that we came out of this match much better than expected.

Since Vaughn forfeit its match, the very generous host of this tournament provided us with an RC car toy named Sacraficial Lamb. It fought valiantly against the destructive American Banshee.


This event was a great experience and was very fun to participate in. We are certain that we will come back next year with something much more planned out and will hopefully take home a trophy.

Man, I haven't booted up Ironforge in a while. The wingman tourney got me back though and I decided to slap some stuff together.

First off is Nail. Nail is a 399.8kg poker that is going to be competing in wingman with Plerco's bot, Hammer.

Hey everyone, I just picked up on DSL IRL and decided to give it a shot. My first bot, Purple Nurple is a huge HS Heavyweight that uses frenzy hammers becuase why not and is powered by a perm 132. It has an all Aluminum chassis driven by two fast NPC-T64's. This robot is my entry into GTMCS2.

My second IRL bot is Mustard. Mustard is a very poorly armored and designed Cruiserweight VS but I'm really inexperienced with them so I decided to give it a try. It has an all aluminum frame with polycarbonate panels and is driven by two fast NPC-T64's. The weapon is a beater bar disk powered by a perm 132. This is my entry into the Deathmatch tournament.

Also I suck at image editing so yeah.
