eXecutor and Exterminator in fights 3 and 7.

Fight 7? I guess you did pretty well then.

I suppose you can't talk about who won or anything since the thing's going to be televised.

Did you run into a hammer bot? It looks like there's a pretty significant dent in your top armor there.

This is the match that caused the top damage. Quick eyes will notice me landing on their weapon after getting launched. Also, near the end you can spot the bit of metal I got high centered on.

I should also mention that AutoDesk Inventor was a Battlebots sponsor. They gave prizes to the top 3 finishing robots and the best engineered robots. The result of this is that I and three of my teammates are going to receive copies of Autodesk Inventor Professional, which retails for somewhere in the range of $5,000 per copy.

Guess I need to learn inventor =P

Not too much to update. Installed the battery mounts and weapon speed control in Mr. SD yesterday. Painted the top uhmw panels black. Got a new logo done up-

Gears are important in robots AND combat robots. :|

I know what you're getting at, but outlined gears look better then saws.

That and I plan on the Near Chaos logo being used for more than combat robots. I fully intend to get involved in racing once I'm done with school.

Wow. Good luck to you. Off topic - but have you had any experiance already?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #193 on:** June 01, 2009, 05:30:44 PM »

Not with full scale cars, I've raced 24th scale slotcars at just below the professional level(2nd place in the am. division at a national championship event) and spend a decent amount of time practicing driving in odd conditions. I'm the only person I know that practices powersliding in the snow. Saved my life once, oddly enough. Was driving on the interstate at 45-50mph on snowy ground, right rear slid out putting me in a slide at about 30deg off straight, steered out of that and fishtailed a bit before straightening my truck back up and continuing on my way.

Two main reasons I haven't done any racing yet: Battlebots and lack of garage space. The latter is no longer an issue.

24th scale slot cars:
Edit:something busted the image
Most have .007" thick lexan bodies, fastest one can easily break 50mph

Somebody · « **Reply #197 on:** June 02, 2009, 06:12:59 AM »

That depends, which one can break 50?

roboman2444 · « **Reply #198 on:** June 02, 2009, 01:54:37 PM »

my mini q can hit 54
all my other cars can do about 30. i gota stick bls in them!

Weirdo · « **Reply #199 on:** June 02, 2009, 02:30:49 PM »

Hehe, fantastic. Love those paintjobs, definitely think you should use that logo.

I only asked because I do a little Go-Karting myself. Not professionally, although I think I could certainly start a career if I had the funding.

Still, wish you luck with future RC racing.

@robo2444: I think Somebody was asking MikeNCR which one can break 50, since you alrready told us that your mini q can hit 54.
