Lego Robot Wars Series 6: Qualifiers Part 1

[432Death]

Are you going to make a new season for 2012? cause your vids are awesome!!!

[ochayedonald]

@432Death Series 7 is filmed

[TheHogsOfWarKing]

How do you make these so well? -_-

I make legobots as well, but not powered - just push along. They are capable of surviving a small fall (like off a table onto a wooden floor). I never hollow mine out because against my spinners which ARE electrical (due to scratching myself on one) are often easy to beat when the robot is solid inside, whereas if it wasn't, the spinner could rip the side away and tear the guts out of it.

[ochayedonald]

@TheHogsOfWarKing I used to do push-alongs (along with the pullbacks) long time ago. Spinning weapons where also electric and I often made a chassis with paper shells to rip apart. Ah, those days...

[helloface001]

@TheHogsOfWarKing Hay cool you watch this series too :) nice

[TheHogsOfWarKing]

@helloface001 I haven't watched it for a while, but it is a really good form of stress killing. Seeing Lego robots smash to pieces and get thrown about is really funny to watch, especially when that robot with the massive green wheels comes on (I forgot its name) because it always ends up in the pit and then it gets lifted out. Then an annotation says "You didn't see that..." or something like that. XD

[doctorpoo73]

looks like outrage is gonna need a bit of rebuilding

[helloface001]

10:17 History is made. 1st OOTA

[RobotsGreatWar2]

@helloface001

And a brilliant one. Hopefully in the future Flippers will become more powerful using spring power for the flipper as CO2 is just plain dangerous.

[helloface001]

I named my #4 seed after overdrive :)

[legomailman]

Where d oyou get the caterpillar tracks from. I can't find any on ebay and the only sets that have them are too expensive when all I want from them are those grey tracks.

[ochayedonald]

@legomailman The grey ones from the Bulldozer and the Excavatar set. You'll get them in some current large technic sets. They're rubbish on wood...

[Soupinacup96]

I'm naming my first born Hit-n-Run.

[ochayedonald]

@Soupinacup96

It's a good philosophy

[Obvi0uslycool]

I've just discovered lego robotics, where do you get your electronics?

[ochayedonald]

@Obvi0uslycool power functions, online through LEGO or bricklink

[TheMokamola]

why do you show the robots without electronic parts?

[Kingcorkscrew]

ochayedonald, can you please make a tutorial on how to make good spinning weapons and attach them to the chassis?

[il2sturmovikfb]

what is the song called when you are showing the robots at the start of the match?

[ochayedonald]

@il2sturmovikfb

The music under the statistics? It's original.

[Scrapyard24c]

10:54 Someone get Bladerunner some asprin.

[TheMokamola]

@Scrapyard24c or a head rub

[student71901]

06:06 lol thats the weakest robot ever on lego robot wars @_@ ?

[PorcupinePileup325]

megabite is impressive, plus earthquaker has really improved. First out of te arena! and then there was outrage :/

[il2sturmovikfb]

cool opening!

[GoulGuyProductions]

That last match, especially the first half, was nerve racking, and then, finally, THE OOTA! I'm glad I've rediscovered Lego Robot Wars.

[smellmyskunk2]

if only they were lighter you could use them in an antweight battle XD

[BlackBladeInc]

Put a big spike on Hit n' Run and then it'll be destructive, or a spinner

[Gavin17259]

Awesome! Is that the first robot to be flipped out in one of your series?

[magmon1000]

i want to see a robot to get flipped out the arena

[robotbakugan]

@ochyedonald can overdrive self right

[ochayedonald]

@robotbakugan

Oui, or at least it's meant to, and it does when I test it

[feathertopDT]

great matches!

[haycm001]

earthquaker and outrage was awsome tons of destruction everywhere

[tytoandnoobporygonz]

you should make a pussycat type robot

great video 

[motorstorm2323]

i want megabite to win this war :D

[TheBaseballfan87]

the robot overdrive reminds me of bigger brother from robot wars :)

[psycholizardboy]

i can imagine the greatest match if you do a special creepy crawly vs outrage

[brandonsully01]

a robot finaly out of the arena well done ocheydonald

[oogiegork]

1st robot out of the arena!!!

[Scitech101]

Earthquaker seems to do a lot of self damage. I would highly recomend 1: reinforcing his front armor. 2: putting a rubber stopper or spring on his rear to ease the blow of his hammer on himself

[goldengunner207]

do you know what set i could get the drive chain from used to power the weapon on megabite

[ochayedonald]

@goldengunner207

I bought them from bricklink. There is a motorcycle that has some and I think mindstorms sets.

[goldengunner207]

@ochayedonald thanks mate

[TeamRockandRobot]

I like the music and I like the new Arena, good Job :D.

Think this is the best series we've ever had.

I like Eartquaker as well, he has potential and I look forward to see Whiplash again defending his title ;)

[Scitech101]

Earthquaker needs to be reinforced on the front armor.

[tourdeforce17]

If this is anything to go by, this is going to be one hell of a Series! (I personally think Series 6 of Robot Wars was the best... could it be the same here?)

Earthquaker is.....frightening to say the least. Probably one of my new favourite robots!

Also Hit N Run vs. Overdrive will go down as one of the most legendary fights ever for a many number of reasons!

[TheBaseballfan87]

@tourdeforce17 just a quick question y would that fight go down as one of the most legendary fights ever

[tourdeforce17]

@TheBaseballfan87 ....have you even watched the fight yet?

[ochayedonald]

@tourdeforce17

I think tourdeforce17 is referring to the OOTA and the comedy value of the match. It very nearly hit the time limit, and HnR really showed what it could do.

[TheBaseballfan87]

@tourdeforce17 yes i have.... So what he flipped hit and run out of the arena ive seen that happen hundreds of times in robot wars its cool but not spectacular

[tourdeforce17]

@TheBaseballfan87 And how many times has that happened in Lego Robot Wars.

[TheBaseballfan87]

@tourdeforce17 big deal that it has only happened once nd the only reason for that is that this series he decided to lower the walls it would hav ahppened plenty of more times if the walls were lower in previous series

[ochayedonald]

@TheBaseballfan87

When it first happened to Firestorm, it was way cool. I didn't like it towards the end of RW though, when it was really easy to accomplish and everyone was flying out. However it's still quite tricky in LRW because flippers aren't very powerful - some barely flip! This is the first one for LRW, so it's cool lol

[TheBaseballfan87]

@ochayedonald yes i agree as more and more robots tried to win that way i lost its charm but u ha vto admit that it was kind of funny to see chaos 2, firestorm, wheely big cheese, ripper, and many more big names just make the other poorly built robots just go flying across the arena. remember the fight where wheely big cheese flung the opponent out from almost dead center of the arena u hav to admit that still had amusement for u.

[ochayedonald]

@TheBaseballfan87

Of course, definitly epic that one.

Nothing against OOTAs, just too many gets dull, short matches, etc

[TheBaseballfan87]

@ochayedonald yeah well in ur case its not that easy to lift someone out of the arena bc ur just using motors to liftif u made a robot with a flipper nd took a coiled wire from like say a nerf gun and attached it to the frame and to the flippers arm the u put the motor to pull it down then once its fully down u could hav like a quick release that would send the other robots flying like in one of the video links on ur website. just a tip for series 7

[smellmyskunk2]

i like the music, and who named the robots?

[ochayedonald]

@smellmyskunk2

Whoopsie - just added a note in the vid description!

[isaacnelson98]

k if your gona have walkers it should be walkers on walkers just saying

[legomailman]

Wow! A great start to series 6 can't wait for the rest.

[LEGOBOTCOMBAT]

The series is starting out great! I think overdrive is my new favorite.

[psycholizardboy]

now that theirs been one oota many more are gonna happen

[randomperson11111123]

Earthquaker did just as much damage to itself as it did to outrage. That is one seriously powerful hammer.

[BamzookiMan130]

Whoo!

[ooOZER0oo]

I`m so proud to be the one who named overdrive :P

good job again!

[Zblj1987]

Why dont you make some studless ones, which dont fell apart so easily? Good video, how did you managed to upload more than 10 minutes?

[yayvideogames]

@Zblj1987 that wouldn't be as fun! the easily broken robots are fun to watch.

[ochayedonald]

@yayvideogames

Mainly because I prefer this building style, but I think studless ones would be too tough. The parts that fall off easiest are usually the "armour" panels, the chassis' are normally quite resilient. Btw the limit on videos is now 15 minutes! This was going to be a 2 battle episode until I spotted that.

[TheRoboteer]

hit n run died :)

[Edgehog5]

great your robots are more reliable than real ones

[robotwarsfan03]

yay is that your first OOTA?

[BDBlueDragon16]

@robotwarsfan03 It's a second one I think. The first one was looong ago during the earliest Lego Robots War.

[ochayedonald]

@BDBlueDragon16

The first for me I'm sure - but not for others who do something similar

[dalekandjedi]

oh the music so works what its it :D

[ochayedonald]

@dalekandjedi

It is my own, inspired by the RW music!

[dalekandjedi]

@ochayedonald this so should stay

[Masterath]

I would love to see like a spinning blade on the front of Hit and Run/ Great theme music btw

[catbanana]

Hit and Run Reminds me of King B Powerworks and Tornado
