@nooloo3000 well, this one was designed after watching where the other spinners were having problems. it was equipped with a gyro and the blade was removable so a scoop type blade set could be put on if needed. I asked the judges and they told me it was fine so long as when it was weighed we had it done with the heavier of the blades so we had the max it could be.
it was designed to spin both ways, plus the blades were removable so a scoop type of blade could be inserted. I checked and The judge told me that it was legal to do that as long as it was weighed with the heaver of the two blades on it for the official weigh in.
@QwertyBeetle actually the drive system was designed to spin both ways depending on who it is fighting and what we wanted the blades to do at that moment.
You could build an archery-bot and by-pass the "no unteathered projectiles" rule by using a modified CO2-powered impail-bot.
Instead of the sharpened metal spike shooting forward several inches before stopping and retracting, it would shoot up to several yards out of the bot connected by a metal chain that would then retract and lock into place for the next shot.
If you want to get really advanced, the spike would have 3-4 perpendicular spring-loaded metal plates protruding... see next post.
...an inch or two from the tip that, when imbedded in the enemies armor, would prevent the enemy from escaping and allow your bot to drag it around anywhere you please.
Oh, oh, oh!
You could also reel them in and wail on them with a secondary weapon!
It's a good idea, but iron chains just aren't up to the punishment that robots can dish out. Your idea would be great against boxy robots, but not so great against small-bodied or low-profile robots, like Biohazard and Nightmare.
Thank you for articulating yourself so well in selecting the most superlative choice in this our English language and all it has to offer for a vocabulary.
yes... years ago my team and I did get some of it actaully built too... but I needed funding to make the blades. We wanted to mill it out of one piece of metal so it wouldn't break easy
Heh, thats like saying, "Somewhere on my body is a piece of impenetrable armor the size of a bullet and if you shoot me there I'll be completely unharmed." -quote Adam West of Family Guy
but a battlebot will be "killed" as soon as it's penetrated, since theres not a lot of parts under there that are that unimportant that the bot can win w/o em =P
there needs to be a spinner frenzy

it would work better if the blade spun the other way

Just a quick question what program did you use to make the 3d model? or did you just use a program like 3d max? :P

I'd hit it... with a pulverizer.
But seriously, a very nice design.
I am slighly sprised that you don't have any protection against getting flipped like most bots.
Either a self-righting mechanism or just an object that will keep it from staying on it's top.

Interesting design. I would take it that some of your work is based off of F5?

you can still compete. (just not in battlebots) look at some RFL robot combat for the links to certain websites

I also noticed that the blades were spinning the wrong way. You what the pointed part to come in contact with your enemy. Nice design tho
Jerry11606 4 years ago
Thats a big no no.
If he were to do that, the blades would get stuck in the opponent and snap right off.
Of course, that's in the "best"-case scenario.
AnimeAdmirer22 4 years ago
but if it got stuck in just the right place, the "victim" would be disabled immediately, with 4 points left for 4 more bots XD

Alot of bots now-days have indepentant drive systems, backup recievers, and multiple weapons.
Simply taking out one of the above mentioned parts will not 'kill' the enemy bot.

makes for a hell of a robattle ^^
