Lego Robot Wars Series 5: Semifinals

[Theknittingdevil]

Does 1 transmitter control weapon and drive at the same time or do you use two? Plz respond fast

[TheMokamola]

oh, show us how to make a horizontal blade! i am making one, but i think it is quite different from yours

[ochayedonald]

@TheMokamola

Where are you having trouble?

[TheMokamola]

@ochayedonald no, thats not what i meant. i meant can you post a vid on how. also, is series 6 over? and will you make a series 7?

[mariomaniac6411]

Was velocity put together with pritt stick?

[ZERO7277]

wIcKeD!!



[fallen6191q2w]

how do you make the flipers fast plz respond?

[ochayedonald]

@fallen6191q2w

Only two gears used for the transmission. One small to large gear basically. So still pretty nippy

[mechadonkykong]

well you could do a rematch between reaper vs earthquake in one of the series 6 heats or in the Qualifiers

[mechadonkykong]

i timed earthquakes on how long it wars imobalized 4 and it wasnt 30 second but reaper was imobalized for 30 second there 4 earthquake should have won even know it wasnt moving right.

[ochayedonald]

@mechadonkykong

I judged it because they where both rather stuck and Reaper done al the work. However, technically, you're correct. I didn't worry to much about it as it didn't affect the main competition

[LEGOBOTCOMBAT]

I copied earth Quaker. Hope u don't mind : )

[ochayedonald]

More the merrier ; )

How many batteries did you put in the hammer?

[LEGOBOTCOMBAT]

I put 5 batteries in the hammer. with 6 it always flipped its self over.

[oogiegork]

for next series can u ask viewers for fanatasy fights that they want to see??? :)

+ what are the dimensions for e.g. whiplash?

does whiplash have a scri-mech?

[ochayedonald]

Quite possibly, depends how much time I have next time I film.

Um, count the studs? Roughly 28 wide, 27 in length but not oncluding the blade. It doesn't, I'm tempted to see how long it can last without one!

[computercod5]

ooooh repeat of series 4 final my money would have to be on who ever gets the first blow in

PS: what was the special for?

[ochayedonald]

Just to see those two robots again. I made sure that every robot this series had at least two fights, I think I suceeded!

[computercod5]

Earthquaker looks pretty good y dont u try a sharper edge to his hammer?

[ochayedonald]

I was afraid that having that kind of weight behind a sharp point it would actually shatter bricks - incl. PF parts! Maybe that'll be it's upgrade (as well as being made faster) it's meant to be a pummelling, blunt weapon originally.

[LEGOBOTCOMBAT]

Me to!!!!

[oogiegork]

thanks stephen ;)

SO ... Whiplash vs Armageddon ...

... i'll be contraversial and go for mr. geddon

[owain2222]

how ironic

series 2 final: brute vs mayhem

series 3 final: brute vs mayhem

series 4 final: whiplash vs armageddon

series 5 final: whiplash vs armageddon

is it me or is there a pattern?

[tourdeforce17]

there's a definite pattern emerging with the final of these series, lol. i want to see more of overdrive and thunder as well :'(

[ochayedonald]

Me too, and if I want something it'll probably happen lol

[tourdeforce17]

yay, in the words of Buck McCoy, "I like the way you think!"

[lomtafix]

cool, n ice robots

[LEGOBOTCOMBAT]

That was quick! I think Whiplash will be the champion for the second time in a row!

[MadManMaloney]

Awesome dude. Hey, have u ever thought of doing a obstacle course type event with some of the bots? Kinda like Robotica

[legomailman]

WOW! The first match had to be the quickest match ever. Whiplash is just amazing and a great flip by Armageddon.

[coninho5]

when did reper come back in???? overdrive was the one that got voted back in

[KillDozer123]

This was a one-off battle between those two because, as he said, they had so much potential.

I wonder now if Whiplash can be the first robot to ever defend its title (Brute technically won it back).

[uppercutter450]

Good to see that reaper should come into it's own. To me it has everything to be the total package and it has left me shocked me everytime it has lost in the past .

[KillDozer123]

For me, the biggest problem with Reaper (a problem it ironically shares with Earthquaker, as this battle shows) is its low ground clearance. The instance it gets caught under a brick, it's in real trouble.

[panickattack100]

Same final as last series, but good nonetheless. I would like a Kan-Opener/Mechadroid lookalike.

[Zblj1987]

I laughed when i saw the robot using its own battery box as a hammer! Keep'em coming!
