ziggy really is an impressive bot

i havent seen anybody beat him and ive watched a lot of battles with

ziggy

@ markdemers01  you know how at one point in ziggys life when he would flip stuff smoke sprayed out do know what that was???

anybody???

[markdemers01]

@atlantisSkater We've lost a number of matches early on. Ziggy's been undefeated at Robogames for 4-5 years.

The "Smoke" you've seen is actually condensed vapor. For thrust, Ziggy uses a compressed medium / gas. When using high-pressure air, the medium remains gas. When we use CO2, there is a phase change (liquid to gas) which creates a significant drop in temperature... hence the vapor freezing out of the air, and looking like smoke.

I was amazed when ziggy took down even vladiator

The most lovable part was the bullying of matador :D (the one with red tires was M right ?)

[markdemers01]

The one with red tires was Sewer Snake.

To be fair I should note... I edited in the best *Ziggy* clips. Sewer snake had control of ziggy many times our matches together... but I didn't see a good reason to include these in the "Best of ziggy" footage. Sewer Snake is a very robust and impressive machine with an excellent driver.

>>> great flipper but one of the ugliest bots iv eaver seen

[BobbyTubes]

oh shit! I am thinking of ZIGGO. My bad!

[RedlineM203]

Chaos 2 is naturally outmatched. It was made to fit the Robot Wars weight limit (at the time it was built) - 80kg. Which equals about 176lb.

Ziggy weighs 340 pounds. Almost DOUBLE.

@atlantisSkater from using a co2 tank. happens when the tank is purged to lower the flipper after its activated

[doomsy]

Is there anyway you could make that flipper more deadly? Other than flpping em, but like somehow cutting them with the force of the flipper

[KnuxMaster]

Ziggys super heavyweight right? how would he fare against Diesector or Minion

[profasir]

Ziggy is just too over powered

[MrPizzaman09]

Is it possible to add a pump on board to re-pressurize the tanks?

[uploadglennhere]

-danielpullen are you kidding me? this is a perfect example of form following function. Ziggy has to have the ability to remain fast, sturdy, and vertically minimal to fit under other robots. It's beautiful in my opinion.

[transdrole]

That roll-cage bot is tough!

[ScrewU452]

You know what i really would like to see? Ziggy vs Ziggo

[qcages]

This is a great bot! Awesome flipper. Watching these videos is actually helping me in the design process of a totally hybrid type of robot that has never before been used or seen at battles before. I think if i manage to finish it and it's within the weight limit, it could take on Ziggy, and pretty much any other robot thrown at it.

1:52 Is that Vladiator!?!
