Rebound at PennBots Fall '07

Here's the highlights of the 3 matches our fairyweight robot "Rebound" competed in at PennBots Fall 2007 tournament. Fairyweight robot matches can be short and sometimes boring, but hopefully this nifty greatest hits video gives you a good look at our newest robotic creation. Rebound went 1-2, but MANY updates are already in the works!

Heya mate I checked out your site, I noticed you only used a 150mah pack along with quite a small outrunner (presumably from unitedhobbies!). I used a 360mah pack in mine, which was pretty overkill, but did you have any trouble with the 150mah pack? I really would love to free up weight in my little bot!

Congats on the wins.

The 150mah pack runs Rebound for about 4 minutes, but keep in mind that I only used micro servos for drive. When I actually replace the slow servos with quicker tiny gearmotors instead, I will probably upgrade to a ~250mah pack. 360mah is a lot for a fairyweight, I'll be using a 360mah in my new antweight.

You only won one fight? Because I'm pretty sure I saw you take out two robots at the end.

Rebound's lone win came over "Microfire" by knockout when both of his drive wheels came off.

The little wedgebot at :16 named "The Bug" won by pushing Rebound into the pit. "Little Buzz", who's tire I ripped off at :20 won over me by Judge's Decision... he actually totally ripped off one of my wheels and flipped Rebound near the end of the match.
