How'd the Segway do? Was it actually able to thwack?

Now that Mike has put the videos up, I can write some reports:
VS Klazo AKA "Thank goodness I learned to drive with one wheel"

VS Affluenza AKA "Robbed!"

Rumble AKA "Wait, TWO drums!?!

And thats the end for Short Stop, next two ants will be an ultra fast power wedge(Hyper Speeder), and a big ass saw blade with a robot attached to it(Contriving Contraption).

Yeah, it looked like you were winning against Affluenza. Not sure what the judges were seeing there. Your bot definitely needs to be faster, though. Good luck man.

Maybe you could come to Bot Blast next year :)

Watched the fight and tried to take the perspective of a judge. This event used the SPARC criteria.

Points are awarded in 3 categories:
 Aggression - 5 points
 Control - 6 points
 Damage - 6 points

Damage is easy, 3-3 split
Aggression was likely 3-2 for Short Stop
Control may be what got you. Don't recall if it was a split decision or not, but for control and making a snap judgement I'd say it's either 3-3 or 4-2 for Affluenza, making the final score either 9-8 Short Stop, or 9-8 for Affluenza depending on who's doing the scoring.

The reason I'd say Affluenza could get the control points is there were a few spots where it managed to get around Short Stop and push it across the box/into the wall. Most of the other contact was head to head and resulted in both robots stopping where they were until they separated. Watching live, those full pushes tend to stand out to judges and that's likely why it got scored the way it did.

That said, the new Short Stop was a huge improvement over the last one and I look forward to seeing things continue to progress.

Current challenge, fit less than 37 grams of wire, chassis, screws, and other junk into a robot weighing only 150 grams.

How do the Brits do it?

Mostly depends on components. Plus we don't really do wide drums like that as far as I'm aware. Get on the pololu wheels if you haven't already.

Ugh, picture quality.

All I have to do is a little tweaking to make sure everything runs smoothly, otherwise this thing is mostly complete(Other than paint).

I like the lifter, and I'll make sure to show it to Zachary since it's a cool twist on his kit design. Is the wedge on the second bot only held on by 2 screws?

The wedge has only two screws right now because I miss drilled the holes and I ran out of 6-32 screws. Once I fix the miss placed holes I'll go with a pair of socket cap screws.

Hopefully Robogames, but there's always Clash of the bots in the Summer. By then, I hope to have Killing Joke and Obsidian ready to go by then.
Other thing, has anybody used this motor? I was thinking of sticking it into Obsidian(Blade is going to be 6"x2"x.25" steel)
