[Bzking23]

i wanna see b2 self destruct

[behemoth12341]

can someone plz show me how to build one of these

[Lordhermitcrab]

Hell yeah! YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT MUSIC!

[XxTutorialMonsterxX]

pretty cool :P

[LegoAidanStudios]

awesome

[100yurim]

wanna know how to make him better on the spinning add another tilted peice and far range then make it about higher then connect pieces from the point of the spinnner to make it more efficent and harder to break loose

[TheMojo88]

were do you get thes parts

[ochayedonald]

@TheMojo88

random technic bricks from ebay/bricklink and the PF parts usually from the official online shop

[Gavin17259]

Is that scoop on the back of Brute the same scoop that's on the front of 'Scoop' in series 4? Also, has Mayhem changed at all since series 1 'cos it looks the same to me?

[ochayedonald]

@Gavin17259

It is! Unfortunatly it's not been effective on either robot, I shall have to build something that will utilise it well.

Internally, Mayhem has gone through a few different gear train set-ups, a few pieces moved here and there for aesthetics, different panels but most notably was the shrimech I added in Series 5. It was going to be dismantled before 6, but... I couldn't : )

[OcxQu]

wieght :P lol

[rcrunkle]

your battle arena has changed alot

[baconsonic]

awsome

[TheMissileDestroyer]

too bad they dont produce rcx's anymore they were good

[Petrock508]

You spelt weight wrong lol sorry i feel bad pointing that out when, until recently I spelt it wrong too

[ochayedonald]

That stupid saying "i before e except before c" (or something like that) fooled me. Later videos have the correct spelling.

[ArmourTheLlama]

I before E except AFTER C xD

Yeah sorry for the prickness, thanks for your videos :)

[ochayedonald]

ah... makes more sense now! Thanks for clearing that up

[totalwarshortie]

i get a good feeling every time mayhem loses ever since he fluked the final of series 2

[kugemusha]

since mayhem can only lift why didn't u give him a hammer propelled by movement? so it makes a smash-attack and give brute2-3 axes connected to each other

[SuperGlitchBros]

is power functions any cheaper than mindstorms?

[ochayedonald]

Yes, considerably.

NXT kits are around £160 - £250

Whereas you can a basic power functions set up for as little as £35.69

[DarknessWyvern]

B2 is massacred!

[legohaloking123]

dude this is awesome i give it a 100/50

[MrHeeHa]

BEST SHOW ON YOUTUBE

[nooloo3000]

lego nxt??

[ochayedonald]

Nope, Power functions!!

[Choiboi1994]

is power fuctions more difficult to make than nxt?

[ochayedonald]

On the contrary, it's a lot more simple and more ideal for RC creations. There's lots of info on the official lego site.

[TheLaserlord]

and its the only 1 of its kind on youtube

[ochayedonald]

then you'll love Scorge120's channel! His robots are bigger, heavier, and more destructive...

[jenssnegl1]

no you are the best

ps why take it so long with part 5

[ochayedonald]

Do you mean Series 5?

My opponent/driver has gone away until Christmas. I'll shoot it then. Beforehand, I may do some one-off fights.

[TheLaserlord]

One of the best home made shows i have ever seen

[ochayedonald]

Thank you kindly.

Btw... be assured the moment I get some money I will be buying those batteries and begin filming!

[TheFatAssCat]

dude, this is actually cool! all the other stupid lego fights r sumo crap

[dangerforthebrain2]

i this fight which i think is cool but you say the fight is hazard and brute when you fight its mayhem and brute but cool fight love the series big its brilliant

[ochayedonald]

You're right!

That's what I was originally going to call Mayhem...

Thank you!

[robotboysrevenge]

Cool video : )

[tourdeforce17]

awesome!!!! love the title graphics and pre-fight announcements and statistics! a great effort was clearly put into more than just the robot building, fantastic job! love the destruction in the first fight lol, and do you have several cameras to fim the fight or do you "pause" the fight so you can reposition one camera?

[ochayedonald]

Can you imagine pausing during fights? It'd be a nightmare lol!

I use two camera phones (in this video the bottom right and the ariel view) a digital camera for the bottom left view and a webcam for the top right. I had to be resourceful : /

Glad you like it!

[lolatshane]

What type of lego do you use, if i wanted to buy some "lego rc" or whatever it is, to do what you are doing where would i go to get it ? Could you get me a link? lol

[ochayedonald]

I will post a comment on your page as there isn't enough space here!!

[lolatshane]

Thanks.

[SnowFlake104444]

DO you use lego technic

[ochayedonald]

Yep - you pretty much have to for the internal parts and weapon, however for the armour/outside you can use lego system bricks (see Scorge120's 'Doomsday')

[robotwarsfan03]

who won the second fight it didn't say

[ochayedonald]

Yes, sorry it was about 6:30am when I finally uploaded this and WMG decided to not harass over music used. But now I have added some annotations to the video.

I forgot to time the fights, so, because Mayhem was immobile on one side I've given the win to Brute.

[Scorge120]

Don't remember my exact comment but I do recall that this was pretty flippin sweet :D.

Yeah, I need to upload my vids but my WMM is acting wierd... I've got sooo many things I need to edit and upload. What program do you use for editing?

[ochayedonald]

For the robots I use Sony Vegas 6. It's great, you can keep things simple or go complex (if you decide to use four cameras!) it doesn't crash, you can have multiple video and audio tracks, loads more transitions and effects. It might be worth you either downloading other software or even buying some. Movie Maker just isn't good. It's pants!!

Thank you, I was surprised how well it turned out. It was only meant to be a trial but I've decided this will be the start of a tournament now...

[Scorge120]

Ah, and if it's a tournament, then surely you would want to name it? ;)

[ochayedonald]

Is 'Lego Robot Wars Series 1' not good enough for ya? : P

I've seen a few titles in my time; ROBOT WARS, BATTLEBOTS, DOOMSDAY, BATTLEBRICKS, ROAMING ROBOTS, ROBOTICA, ROBOT ARENA... I just couldn't think of anything! Decided to stick with something self explanatory. Apparently I'm not up for nomination in the "Original Title' award but maybe next time "Lego Robot Wars Series 2" BRING IT

[MICmasterstorm]

ditto but its easy and cheap
