Lego Robot Wars Series 4: Heat C

[snargle3427]

4:48 fail!

[TheMojo88]

Engineering degree for you

[KnuxMaster]

Deltasaur looks like he was inspired by Razer. NICE

[ochayedonald]

@KnuxMaster Who isn't??? : P

[ypoora1]

you thould add a solid block in the arena...

[Rhapsodyas]

lol. that sure is fun :D. What a pity I never discovered lego robotic

[ochayedonald]

@Rhapsodyas You have now...

[warrioreel1]

the replay every 5 seconds is realy anoying.

[SuperRedbaron221]

At the end of the vid both robots failed'

[TheXurol]

Maybe make a redesign of inertia, lower to the ground? The idea is really good, and it could work better after a redesign. Thanks!

[ochayedonald]

@TheXurol

I tried to make it as low as possible, see Series 5, but then I messed up the drive...

[TheMcrosby]

where did you buy them from

[ochayedonald]

@TheMcrosby

Parts from Ebay, bricklink and the official Lego website and shop

[TheMcrosby]

where did you buy them from

[chris21198]

sooo good awesome layout, awesome robots, i bet it would be annoying putting them back together, great setup. 5/5

[swfancas]

Whoa cool

[goldengunner207]

how do you get interia weapon to spin so fast

[ochayedonald]

@goldengunner207

In this series:

M motor > 40T gear > 8T (attached to) 24T. Next series it was driven by an XL motor, which although is slower than the M it had the power to move all the gears quicker. I'm not sure.

[Scitech101]

Awesome. However, a real combat robot would roflpwn them.

[sparkstriff]

how do you make the robots weapons move independently???

[ochayedonald]

@sparkstriff

Two transmitters and two recivers per competitor

[shumpman]

I think the idea is great , i love the robots themselfs , they way they move , and the flippers and weapons on them - its great :D

[ochayedonald]

@shumpman

ithanku

[mrdukenukem1]

do u buy some designer packs or do u build them from scratch?

[ochayedonald]

@mrdukenukem1

Completely from scratch

[hanspans100]

echt cooles video =)

[rcrunkle]

oh alittle far considering i live in the us but thanks any ways keep making videos they rock!

[rcrunkle]

where do you battle i may be get one to cuztimize



[ochayedonald]

@rcrunkle

My place, which is in South East London.

[CyoteNeon]

Inertia is BEASTLY!

[2311blobman]

LOVE deltasaurs design, could you bring him back in the next series

[ochayedonald]

@2311blobman

I loved the look of it, but it got trashed again and again, Series 5 was it's last battle...

[26QProductions]

Hey. I'm thinking of building a Lego Robot. What would I need to start off, and if I do go ahead with it, would I enter it into LRW?

[ochayedonald]

All you need are Lego's Power Functions and Lego technic (what you need specifically will depend on what you want your robot to be like) LRW is just me, but I will gladly film and fight anyone who wants too.

Eventually I hope lots of people build robots, and soon LRW will be a real tournament!

[paisis123]

hell ya man. i build robots also. maybe we can make this into a national event someday and have tournaments all around

[Chriskw25]

SICK MAN i do this at school and i used mindstorm car thing and its beast. it shoots balls. i custimize it so it shoots faster and harder

[ScrapDadddy]

Nice fights. It would be awesome if you put that crusher on a lifting arm so it could fight like Complete Control.

[ochayedonald]

A grabbing-lifter is something I definitly want to try - I don't think a crushing-lifter will in Lego : (

[legomailman]

Have you ever tried doing a Typhoon 2 design. I'm working on one. For me it is difficult. It would be really cool if you made one.

[ochayedonald]

Closest I've come is Inertia. Not sure how to make a full body, also curved, out of Lego, whilst making it very strong and very light.

Can I see you're progress?

[legomailman]

@ochayedonald Not yet I'm still working on it but you don't need to make it curved. You have to make it in a kind of pyramid shape. It so far the basic model is quite strong. I dropped it down the stairs and only the clubs on the side fell off. I still haven't found a way of making it light yet.

[Scorge120]

Lol whos pantless in the background at3:27?

[ochayedonald]

I can't answer that, but I can tell you "they" where wearing shorts lol

[robotcrazzy1]

hi i like robotwars too

[CalumWasEre2009]

where did u get the parts for velocity

[ochayedonald]

You'll have to be more specific, I got the parts from all over the place but I can tell you where to obtain certain pieces.

[CalumWasEre2009]

well what power functions

[ochayedonald]

The power functions I got from the official lego online shop or bricklink. com

Velocity uses 2x M motors for drive, 2x XL for the weapon, 2 recharagable batteries (standard in almost all of my robots) and two receivers.

[morismania1]

how did u make the wapon of deltasaur

[ochayedonald]

It's simply an actuator pushing the arm, very near to the pivot of the arm.

Though, I don't think it's very good, I will need to do more testing as this series didn't really give it a good go.

[tourdeforce17]

Twister vs. Inertia- THAT would be a fight my friends!

[legotuner]

your right parts would be everywhere

[Gavin17259]

@tourdeforce17 I reckon Twister would win. Inertia's arms look too flimsy

[anderson9132]

OMG 0_o what a shocking heat!! : D cant wait for heat D!!

[Scorge120]

Damn... about the 5th time I've seen this.

I've got such a burning desire to finish a battlebot!!

[ochayedonald]

I've a burning desire to finish OFF a battlebot!! I've been busy all week and not been able to film : (

[mst3k0196]

how come you didnt use the 321 activate i gave you?

[ochayedonald]

Continuity - I don't want to change things like that halfway through a series, I'd save it for the next one

[Edgehog5]

those tracks on levitator look very weak are you sure the had the right conecters

[ochayedonald]

They're the new style tracks from the Bulldozer, and although I've ripped them apart before with Inertia they're pretty tough. But I didn't have them tightly meshing with the gear-wheel-things and also they have NO grip on wood!

[starwarsgalactia]

great heat, and im very happy about the naming for the crusher { only because i suggested the final name :) }, also im sad because the dinosaur became extinct in the first round so hopefully the will do better in the 5th wars

[nooloo3000]

its always one good robot vs one crappy one make em both good love your show

[ochayedonald]

In the first fights in the heats it's usually an improved veteran against a newcomer (which are often painfully flawed and largely untested).

You'll like the semi-finals...

[robotwarsfan03]

3:54 reminds me of Rameses II in series 2, does anyone agree?

[ochayedonald]

Aaah! Yes. I know exactly what you mean!

[robotwarsfan03]

glad to see u see the same way i do :)

[Scorge120]

This series is turning out to be really... I mean REALLY great!

I don't know about you but wouldn't that be cool if we could fight our robots?... Like Doomsday vs. LRW?

I see you also have the new battery packs :O

I don't think I'll be getting any of those any time soon XD

[zimvaider]

I would buy one of the li-pol battery boxes, but they cost too much...

[ochayedonald]

I came into some great and generous fortune - which went straight to the batterys!

I'd have to build a harder, better, faster, stronger robot to challenge you Scorge. All mine now weigh under 850 grams!!! D :

That said, hell yeah... ; )

[zimvaider]

WAIT, How would you fight robots if you dont even live in the same country?

[ochayedonald]

We can't, but WE CAN DREAM CANT WE???

Perhaps we could do a webcam fight...

[tourdeforce17]

how the f__ would that work? lol

[christinejack2707]

damn i wanted to see more of deltasaur, reminds me of crusher from series 3 vs beast of bodmin

[TheRedsoxfan666]

:D Best series yet.

[ooOZER0oo]

the first newcommer to win the first battle btw ^^

great heat het and i think it`s the best series already.

[tourdeforce17]

another great heat! this series seems to be proving that your flippers need a bit of momentum first before they actually work lol. were those stud things on levitator to help traction?

[ochayedonald]

They didn't work at all lol, I'm really going to have to do something about that!

Later on in the series I drove the flippers as I knew how to a) make the flipper go down and b) get the best out of them. The semi between Armageddon and Velocity is... fun : D
