Robot Battle

[wadad17]

Can these have any kind of "projectile" or Flammable weapons?

[trmania]

Nope.

[mahamahatsu]

This robot had some very entertaining fights.

[MrPizzaman09]

It takes a lot of skill, knowledge, and resources to build a successful 15lb robot.

As for the saw idea, a saw blade doesn't really have enough mass to be effective. Plus, the teeth break off and bend.

I can't wait until this years competition with our new robot.

[NotFunnyVids]

Instead of losing power on the spinning( which obviously did not work, you should have put a saw right on top of the robot. When an enemy comes close to you just push the saw down and it will destroy or cut through your opponent. Make sure the saw is gas powered. Using the saw throughout the whole battle should last you around 3-5 minutes but by then your opponent would be destroyed.

[trmania]

The robots have to be under 15 pounds. There's no way we could've made a decent saw with that limit, especially gas-powered.

[NotFunnyVids]

@trmania

15 pounds is kinda hard to work with.... one thing that i liked about your robot is that you added holes. That probably made it half as light.

[trmania]

The weight limit was difficult to work with. The holes did help out.

[blafuckyou]

lol. The funny thing about these nerds is, that they sound exactly like this nerd dude from family guy.

[mugenfan87]

battle 4 opponent was an epic robot!

[Aduro1990]

who does this guy sound like?

"arr smash our opponents *GLIVAN*"

[choski76]

its not like the spinning will do any damage to the other robot, And the competition was weak i got bored cause the other guy had a saw, rotating spikes and a spinning jackhammer!!!(but i did like how you pushed him against the law.

[DeltoNinja]

"... and this is the team witchis a group of nerds..."

[stopglobalswarming]

They forgot to turn it on.....OWNED.

[Sumoson]

what was wrong dop? cool fights but bad framing.

[trmania]

I didn't film it, as I was driving the robot.  He was stuck in an awkward location.

[Tentacruel31]

Where do you go and sign up for this stuff? Is there an official web site?

[trmania]

Excellent question. I joined this as part of an extra-curricular program with my school. All you really need is a lot of cash, the right machinery, and a local competition to join. You will need team members, and access to high-tech equipment such as milling and waterjet machines. Also, our robot cost around $1,250, so it isn't cheap. Ask around your community, such as at a Manufacturing School.

have you seen the anime "crush gear" or "beyblade." the scene looks similar to the anime.. You rock!!!

[trmania]

No, I'm afraid I haven't, but thanks.

[rodrix50]

Thanks. Some of them were really a challenge.
