Holy Sheehat that's just too awesome

Also, post 1000 on this thread :0

nope. it's only 999.

i'm 1000.
dammit it said 1000 on my phone x(
also, mike, I just have to ask, how the crap to you get/ make all this awesome stuff? I know the right places count, but I am just really wanting to ask

Being able to get waterjetting done at GT helps on costs quite a bit, beyond that I work as a design engineer and have a lot of CAD experience through college/work, particularly in Solidworks. Another major factor is just time/experience. My first major event with my own bot was Robogames 2006, and that's not counting the several fail-bots that came before that including a bot that was about 75% complete (weapon wasn't done) around when Battlebots was cancelled.

That is beautiful, dude. Haven't seen a robot like this in a while!

Figured that "before all the guts are put in" was a good time to paint the bot, therefore:

Indeed.

Guts are still a while off, a good portion of the platform and crusher mechanical assembly is done(need to drill out the mount holes a hair and trim shafts/add shaft collars on the crusher)

Holy Awesome! What's it's name?
Looks a bit like Chompalot! Maybe rename it to Chompalittle

It's keeping the Nyx name.

Test of the crusher attachment on Nyx. I'm not cranking it up to full force as I don't want to risk damaging the armor on Spanky. What this video does show is how the floating arm functions. The goal of the arm design was that it'd be able to deal with a range of chassis heights without lifting any of its own wheels off the ground in the process.

Not yet, going to do some initial functionality testing first, then turn up the power for test videos.

I'm also picking up the old Robot Battles insect arena and will be fixing it up soon so we've got more arena options for Atlanta area events.

Initially, some general cleanup, new pits, and either fixing or replacing the hazard.
