Meet Johnny 2x4.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54122photo0124.jpg)
Johnny 2x4 is a FW robot and shall be competing in the UK FW Champs on the 14th April 2012. He cost $20,000 and took 3 years to build. It's chief weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and a almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
It will be in these matches:
Johnny 2x4 v Reavenger v Mini Mighty Mouse
Ripoff v Johnny 2x4 v LS4
Wedgie v Johnny 2x4 v TS2
Which, i'm sure you'll agree, will be very interesting matches regardless of the outcome.

Cool! It's like Block of Wood's long-lost brother.
-
YAY WOODBOT, not enough people build fun bots like this...
-
At what point does $20,000 = "Fun bot"?? 0_0
-
Ok have to admit, I didn't think that people would take the $20,000 thing seriously. I like how no one questioned the 3 years part though.
-
don't worry if you add up the cost of running it for 3 years using sabertooth escs, you come pretty close to 20 grand
-
Oh you. :P
It seems to be running quite well on a sabertooth 2x12, for now, at least.
-
Just wait till the FET's pop off...
You might want to re-epoxy FET's to the board and the board to the heatsink to keep it from going FET'o ejecto or heatsink ejecto...
-
Someone new, at last!
See you this weekend.
-
there better be vids. I want to see it too.
-
Can we see it being turned into sawdust?
-
I'm pretty sure someone will be filming. Just check youtube the sunday after. I'll take pictures of the damage definitely.
-
Oh hey, you finished it :P
So I guess the baseball bat thwack won't be happening then?
Also, you're fighting LS4. good luck XD
-
Nope. Even if I did it, it would probably get ripped off quite quickly anyway.
-
Car tire armor... I'm serious...
You can get it for free. Steal your dad's car's spare, talk to a tire center i'm sure they would be willing to give you a used tire for cheap or free.
-
Car tire is something i've considered, but I think it's a bit late to get it on for the UK Champs.
If Johnny 2x4 survives, i'll try and put it on for the Aylesbury event.
-
what day you fighting on?
-
I will be there on the Saturday.
-
Early starts are fun!
Off to the Uk Champs now. Wish me luck!
-
good luck mate, best of luck, as for the early starts i am still trying to find my face and apologise to it, maybe bacon would help.
apoloigises for ML being terible, i actualy have an excuse this time :laughing
-
Wow. Good luck dude! Had I known about your project earlier... I would have Paypal-ed you some money for sponsorship and requested you tape a picture of Scrap Daddy's avatar on the bot.
-
Hey, how did the fighting go? Any recognisible chunks left?
-
It still works :eek:
-
It still works :eek:

You better believe it! Although it pretty much needs a rebuild now. It was held together by duct tape by the end of it, and our clearence was mucked up as one of the motor mounts had come loose.
Pictures soon, once my phone decides to play ball.

Man, I so would've drawn Cassius II on that :approve:

Yesterday was good! Here was what Johnny looked like after it's match with LS4

And here is what it looked like after a rushed repair job.

We repaired it, only for me to run at wedgie and last 4 seconds before being flipped out. In total I got 3 points. Just short of the 9 needed in order to qualify for the final.
Johnny 2x4 is pretty much a Class D insurance writeoff. Time for a new bot!
-
Well, at least it held itself together, and you still managed to keep it working. Great work there. =)
I also liked the "Got Wood?" message someone had written there. Maybe that should be your slogan if you ever decide to re-enter Johnny 2x4.
-
You can blame harry for that one. :P
And Johnny got through 7 matches! Which is 5 more then we all thought it would survive.

Agreed. Your team tee-shirts are already printed and available on eBay thanks to "shaun of the dead".
