I'm going to fight robots today

[TitanDiddly]

I was up till the wee hours of the morning getting this finished. 14400 RPM sawblade. Will make ankles unhappy.

Pics
Pics are back up


The stool legs in the basement are disfigured. Video to come later.

Ignore the first three pics, they're worthless.

There doesn't seem to be enough teeth on the blade... but that's still awesome.

What are you naming it?

You should buy robot insurance, because they steal your medicine.

The blade is actually modified to grab and throw robots instead of cut, so I took off 2/3 of the teeth so it can get a better grab. The name is Nebula.

Heh, I bought a bunch of my parts from that site's sister site: http://www.robotmarketplace.com



I took second place in my division, with a 4-2 record, all four wins were KOs. I lost twice to the same bot. I'm enthused with the bot's performance, especially with it's second outing. Pics and video to come.

Good thinking :thumbsup: I forgot that a jarring slam is worse for a robot than a quick exterior cut. Awesome choice on the name. Can't wait for the vids. Good job on placing second.

Your original link is down. Was this for those robot war tv shows or just a hobbie thing?

Thanks! I had one robot hit the ceiling of the arena. Pics are down for a bit. Trying to get them back up.

Ooops, didn't see this post.

Both, but untelevised, and smaller(more affordable) bots.

Cool stuff. You have a True Man's Hobby. Only killing living things with gunpowder-charged projectiles is it's equal.

How did you do in The Games? Did you win? We want pics of The Battle. Even if you got chewed to scrap metal, you were THERE and that's what matters!

:camera:'s?

2nd place. Pics of bot in OP. Pics/vid of battle may take a few weeks. I only got chewed once- no shame in a >$100 bot coping saw and drill being pwned by a >$500 CNC bot, though.

CNC Bot? As in...the parts were milled on a CNC machine? Hmm, computers designing computers. Robots building robots. The Matrix/Terminator, anyone? :eek;

Made on a CNC machine, yes... but designed by someone working for the government making military equipment.
