Post by: RedSawn on April 20, 2009, 01:03:02 PM: Looks like it's a good year for Robotic combat.

I also heard Robot Wars is coming back in 2010. Random Youtube commenter, so don't quite trust it yet.

Post by: frezal on April 23, 2009, 02:55:01 PM: That list is so disappointing. Where's Nightmare? Where's Biohazard? Where's Warhead?

I am interested to see Root Canal. The last I checked, that was a middle weight. I wonder if the disc was biggified.

Wow. That's quite a bit different. It's now like a mini Diesector. Cool!

yeah I was disappointed with the list the battlebots website really raised my expectations (for those who don't know it had images of biohazard, warhead and mauler among others) I think Im backing Surgeon General for this one I quite like that bot, though it did force Killahurtz into retirement

Did he not want to pit Nightmare against all of the bots with horizontal spinning weapons?

Uh, just so you know, that's NOT Root Canal. If you go to their website (http://www.mutantrobots.com/html/index.htm), it's the other green bot under Diesector.
Title: BattleBots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 24, 2009, 08:52:25 PM: that *IS* the robot fighting under the name *ROOT CANAL* at the competition that I have been at the last few days.

Speaking of which, 3-1 right now, will likely end 3-2 because of a gearbox failure on the left side of the bot.

Post by: Somebody on April 25, 2009, 10:44:39 AM: Do You think that your bot will be on TV?
Title: BattleBots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 26, 2009, 02:25:48 AM: 15lbers probably won't make it on TV.

Final record 5-2. That put me at 4th overall and 1st in the college class. I won two fights with only one working wheel. I also won the award for best engineered 15lb robot.

Post by: Somebody on April 26, 2009, 05:43:35 AM: The college class I though was supposed to be going on ESPNU (ESPN University). I don't get that channel though :( Was anybody there recording it?
Title: BattleBots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 26, 2009, 11:00:00 AM: yes, they were recording the college 120lb class, as well as the pro 220 class and the high school 120 class. 15lbers fought in a different arena. I should have some video of a few of my matches up in a few days.

2 of my 7 fights.

Post by: Somebody on April 26, 2009, 06:37:35 PM: Did you win either of those?
Title: BattleBots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 26, 2009, 06:39:40 PM: both. I lost to eXecutor in my 3rd match and Exterminator in my 7th match.

First link was my second match, second link was my 4th match.

From mid match 4 through the last match I only had one side of my drive getting power.

Post by: frezal on April 26, 2009, 11:36:02 PM: Wow. Your bot is quite quick. That must be a bitch to control.

Third link: check out the pulverizer after it smashed the top of that drumbot's weapon :mrgreen:

Fourth link: Whoa, that dual VS looks like an RA2 bot, design-wise.
