That thing would do well as grasscutter. And I think there could be some sort of gearing for the blade so it would take up the speed much faster in tight combat situations.
But that looks very mean robot for the first build up.
So yeah, I decided to sell the 12lber I bought.(currently working on a deal with a friend of mine)
I want to build something odd, I want to build something cool. I'm building Apollyon
(No need to see image twice)
Don't know how long it will take. Likely it will depend on how much spare cash I can scrounge up and how much time I can get in RIT's new shop facilities.
Weight class- 12lb
Weapon- Catching horns and flamethrower
I checked it a few days ago... :roll:
You need to add some pics to that website.
i wonder if i should be a robot, i've got the parts
Whoa, really? Last I checked, there was no way to make artificial nerves connecting to your brain.
Cool - is that just a shell, or do you have all the stuff (minus the flamethrower of course; I don't see a slot for that) inside Apollyon?
Also how thick is the wedge? All the pics are from a top view... think it'll stand up to Killabyte? :wink:
How it will be able to do any damages if it doesn't have a flamethrower mounted inside it? Or aren't you going to put that robot into a fight at all?
Real robot combat isn't all about damage, unlike RA2. There's aggression, flipping, and pushing and slamming other bots taken into account too. In that respect Apollyon could do well.
I understand why you'd pull out Apollyon in the new format, since it would be hard to get KO's with a wedge, but why Ruiner? Even if the LW's went to the modified format at the last minute, you could still do well with a good HS like that.
Also, by the time I get done with all the bug fixes and rebalancing stuff and start working on new replicas, I think there will definitely be enough of Apollyon to add it in DSL :mrgreen:
Mike, i think you should visit my stock bot showcase...
I made RA2 replica of your bot "RUINER" in stock.
Now somebody can make it in DSL.
Where did you saved weight for an all steel wedge? If i remember well, steel is more than two times heavier than alu...
Ouch, that thing looks like it took quite a beating. Glad to see it will be stronger.
Superficial scratches, mostly. You can tell how good a bot is by the amount of dents and scratches in its armor. If it's all scratched up, it means it's been in a lot of tough scrapes and survived. But if the armor is fresh and shiny, it either means it's untested or it had to be replaced after the last fight :mrgreen:
When do you think you'll get that flamethrower in Apollyon? Just kidding, I know the armor is a priority.
im not a fan of wedge bots but it looks great (plus i don't pick on people when there robot weighs 12 times the weight of mine)
Thats like a Ram Air Pontiac 400 in a Mini Cooper...
heat treater.
Dang, now I need to update the Apollyon replica in DSL.
Oh well, I can update it to be better. Like that version probably is.
Kinda reminds me of my awefull bot in BBEANS4.
EDIT: Just realised that looks like an insult but that bot looks good, real life is alot different to DSL
Heh, no worries. 'new' coke looks a lot like coca cola classic, after all.
I don't notice much of a difference between 1b and 1c, but I think that they are the best design.
Garolite is a high performance type of fiberglass, composed of woven glass cloth in an epoxy resin media. Physical properties are similar to carbon fiber composite, although not as strong or stiff. It is much less expensive than carbon fiber and is easier to cut and form.
Garolite is not electrically conductive and does not block radio signals.
http://www.buildersdb.com/eventdetail.asp?eventid=284
Half of my reason for going is to watch the HW tournament:
http://www.buildersdb.com/view_bots.asp?eventid=281&classid=7
'bout a quarter is to do well enough to hopefully get funding for a MW build if there is a next time.
Last 1/4 is because I want to see if Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive can beat a couple of 15lb shell spinners
Ah, OK, it's another event being run with BB.
Half of those 25 bots in BB aren't even HW's though, unless they've undergone some serious modifications. Diesector? Sub-Zero? Breaker Box? Emily? Looks more like MW through SHW with one LW thrown in.
That said, there's a lot of bots there that I haven't seen in a long time. In any case, the event should be good.
And I see there's even a Drumblebee in there... (well not exactly but close enough.) I guess now I can never make a real life version of my possibly most famous RA2 bot. Oh well. Glad somebody did it.
Is that Ruiner's blade? I can tell you, I would NOT want to face that.
so when are you going to have vids of it destroying more watermelons?
nice
maybe insted of a gear it would be a saw or something more combat robot like
Gears are important in robots AND combat robots. :|
I know what you're getting at, but outlined gears look better then saws.
and how do they stay on the track at those speeds?
Due to a change in plans, Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive is being retired. I'm going to be purchasing a project car for both normal driving and some racing (autocross and the like)
ok ill either do whyachi or just use a sawblade.
someone hacked imageshack and replaced all the images yesterday for a few hours. Wasn't sure if/when the stuff would be restored.so did yours get replaced? and what did it look like?
and a lot of that cost could be cut for future sets of armor.
The mag still is somehow exposed, don't you think Mike ? :P
Hahaha reminded me of the V-12 blender from Top Gear. XDV-8 Actually.

Wow. If it wasn't so close that you got injured, I would make a certain RA2 reference here. Glad you're ok :D
Well, Mr. SD was a real bot, it just existed for a very short time. I could still send in that file. The rebuild will probably take a fair bit of time, as I'm hoping to make the chassis when I'm back at RIT for the winter. Also, from a practical standpoint, with the direction I'm going it'd be very difficult to do an accurate replica of the robot in RA2 without a lot of custom parts.
All I can say about your RW2 entry mike, is that it might repeat the performance it did IRL. :mrgreen:

Oh my god tha looks like so much win, but, 950 dollars for that!? Come on, man, Whyachi's ripping you off. I could probably get the parts for around 600 tops, and they would be of high quality.
but I'm thinking I should wait till the top armor is done before I do that.

IMO, if you're powering all four wheels, it's gonna be a waste of space. put all your drive on the back wheels and have the front wheels on axles, that way you should (in theory) have more space and weight to have a bigger disc and more batteries.You have to be kidding me. Rolling axles is a terrible idea on real robots.

Make sure to make the top armor piece overhang the wedge a little bit so it can't flex up into the blade. We don't want a repeat of Hazard vs. T-Minus happening here. ;)or you can just have the hinges on the wedge lock to 90 degrees so it would just bounce back down when it is thrown up
I guess you can pop different bits into the hole on top, like an interchangable weapon port. Like a USB slot, almost. If my guess is right, that's pretty damn awesome :D
the cutting looks a bit rough, you might wanna sort that.

Do your bots not last more than one event, because the more recent apollyon has only had five fights, and you're already retiring it?
Lol, Explosion's had EASILY 50 fights by now, if not nearing 100

Keep in mind that US combat robotics is very spinner-focused, while the UK is very flipper-focused. And spinners are a lot more destructive than flippers.
Case in point: Moros. :mrgreen:
Questions on the ant:
How is the metal outside the tires going to stay stationary? Its only connected to the axle.
And those look a lot like spike strips. Reminds us of Smashbox 2 don't you think mike? ;)
Franklin's out because I don't trust the arena to contain the bar should something go wrong.
Yeah, it was a close call that stopped spinners in the UK
Not at the minuteYeah, it was a close call that stopped spinners in the UK

I'm using the 1/2" keyed shafts, so that should be less of an issue. Not too worried on a 12lb bot as tons of BotsIQ teams use them on their 15lbers. I've got a bunch of spares since I'll burn 'em quicker than colsons.

Just got back from Schiele, had a great time.
Kobalos went through four gearboxes in the last two of four fights, thinking I may start on something entirely new, as I've got a few fun ideas for ants/fairys.
Apollyon teamed up for some hockey, I only got about 7min of life out of my battery pack, which is fine for combat, not so much for 10min hockey matches. It ran great and drove very well, so I can call it good for dragoncon and Motorama. I also did a few demo fights against Flatline, a 12lb wedge in the beetle arena. Hilarious fights to watch, not sure if anyone got video. Apollyon broke the arena.
That was awesome. The bot hockey sure looks like a fun thing to do.It is :P
Noooo single lifting spike is my thing come up with your own weapon :P
You should defiantly try something like Sewer Snakes lifter since you've got the weight for it. That would be a cool sportsman weapon.
Did a bit of work on the new Ant tonight-<3
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89248MCMProgress1.jpg)
The intent is clamp and flipThought so- I've always liked the idea of something that could both clamp and lift opponents- a bit like Draven/Anthrax and Storm from RW.
I think the flex in it should be useful when fighting spinners, absorbing their energy and not allowing them to get to the wheels.
Have you tried using a basic hinge set up... when the whole arm goes up, the claw stays stationary and grips the opponent. Simple and lightweight.
I've put a lot of time into the design for Nyx in the last week or so. Here's the latest chassis setup with 4 of the possible attachments shown-^WINNAR^
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48255NyxAttachments.jpg)
^WINNAR^
I love how you've set it up to accomodate different weapons for different opponents- From what I can see, there's a battering ram, a lifting scoop, a vertical spinner, and a lifting spike (reminds me of Invertabrat from Robot Wars Series 3, actually), am I correct?
Omega Force has a lot of power for an open-arena bot. :eek: Good job with your Dragon*con win.
Nice arena. Part of me was expecting a giant NCR logo in the middle though :P
Arena is mechanically complete, still planning to add some paint but it's otherwise done.
Awesome overhead throw out of the arena is awesome.
Too bad a real opponent won't sit still so nicely for you to grab them...
Looks suitably awesome. It suits the shape of the bot really well, I feel. I also like how you've kept a little sliver of unpainted metal between the black and green, it really gives it a pop.

I've noticed most roboteers take pictures of stuff next to a coke can. I think it's just to get an idea of the scale of it, because a can of soft drink is a very common thing for someone to have, and know what size it is.

What would a pro builder recommend to a beginner for getting started?
This may be the most powerful electric flipper of your weightclass. A flipper attachment that would resemble Toro in a way would be interesting, although you may have to drive the robot backwards for that to work.

What is the max weight it can lift? Could it lift a middleweight?
Jackpot reply! Woo!
OK, that looks sick. I assume the two "gear" pieces next to the flipper are meant to attach to each other and form some sort of spinner?
Won't know till moto, but it seems like the ludicrous torque means even at a fairly slow speed, it's accelerating the other bot really fast.Awesome, Just AWESOME.

What would it be able to handle weightclass-wise? Beetleweights?
It looks to be pointing the wrong way. Also, what's that obscure skull-shaped thing in the middle for?It appears to me that the 'skull' piece is the disk and the other pieces are part of the frame.
nah, that'll probably be fine, look at inertiaActually Will told me a couple of months ago that the motor has been hit a few times, and he's designing a new one with the motor inside the robot.
Nice domed wheels.Next is the other antweight, Algos. I'm picking up the chassis pieces this weekend for an event July 14th. Should be a fast build.
Whats next after that?
There are also certain benefits to chewing away at the normally lightly armored underside of the other bots.
Everything's packed for Clash of the Bots, I'll be rolling out of Atlanta in about 5.5 hours. Time to grab a nap before the drive.
How do you transport your antweights?
I've been wondering... On a flipper like that, is there a tether on the flipper that is also attached to the chassis to keep the pnuematic ram from over-extending and coming apart, or would such a thing even be necessary?
Without sounding like I'm making an RA2 pun, is the front-hinged flipper wedgy enough? I always wonder about those types with the entire front panel as a front-hinged flipper... (totally didn't misspell that as slipper just now...)
what happened to the one with the 45 degree propeller blade?No walls to protect bystanders.
But it appears that two of the one-pounders have spinners
the supreme weaponSpinner ?
Congratz on all the victories, sounds like it was all quite successful.
Glad to hear of the flipper's victory, hopefully that might inspire some more robots over there to utilize the supreme weapon :P
Most American arenas lack a dead zone. The Combots/Robogames arena sorta does, but it's pretty small.Well we have loads of spinners for the UK champs, but the flippers are still (on average) far more successful.Congratz on all the victories, sounds like it was all quite successful.

According to the videos actually, Mike's 1lb flipper actually fought in a battlebox though, so not on a platform. On the subject of the flipper, I'm quite impressed with the driving for a new roboteer. I'm also really impressed with how well Nyx works. I was at first quite skeptical about how effective the weapon would be, but it seems to be very useful for controlling the other robots with.
You do know that your friends bot is the first sucessful american front hinged fipper right?
If there was an event closer to me that ran them I'd consider it, but as it is, the largest class that's run with any regularity within a reasonable distance of me is 30lbs.Welp, okay.

Weapon bar shifted during waterjet cutting and is getting remade. Picking it up Thursday. Once that's done, it'll be 100% finished.

Weapon: 5" titanium bar
Drive: Prototype Mini-Sparks 20:1
Battery: 2s 180mAh
Chassis: SLS Nylon with .032 ti top and bottom
Guys it's a fairyweight not an antweight
Does the fairyweight class have a size restriction like the UK Antweight class does? I'm guessing that Keres couldn't compete in UK Antweight competitions due to it being unable to fit in a 4 inch cube.There is no size restriction here. The blade I heard was five inches in length.

Here's the chainsaw attachment in progress:
(http://nearchaos.net/painsaw.jpg)
Still have to cut the slots in the arm for the sprockets and finish welding the teeth in place. For now they're all tac'd in place as I was running low on argon for the welder. When done it'll be powered by a 775 size motor geared down to a tooth speed of approximately 20ft/s.
I'd imagine that, if one of the teeth were to break off, it has too much of a chance to take an existing link with it and break the chain. Stronger, yeah, but there's still that.Here's the chainsaw attachment in progress:

Just an idea for the teeth... Instead of welding teeth on to the existing links, couldn't you machine some custom pieces that would act as links in the chain but also double as teeth? Seems like it would be much stronger that way.

How sharp s each end, and what kind of force do they hit with?
That's pretty cool, how did you make the elder scrolls axe?
much swagnessHow sharp s each end, and what kind of force do they hit with?
Axe side has a sharp but relatively thick end, spike's got about a 1/16" wide tip with a sharp edge. I've managed to nearly punch through 1/8" 6061 aluminum swinging it by hand, so I suspect the mag can do a fair bit better than that. Energy calculations say it should be able to hit about as hard as a .22lr pistol.
Did you mean to make it look like a elder scrolls axe, also do you have any examples of other weapons you've made.
Nice axe. I also like the one with the spike strips because it looks like a cross between an angled bracket and spike strips from RA2.
