Last weekend brought us
FACTS
. A 45K+ visiters Comic con weekend.
Team RCC entered 3+2 machines. The 3 machines were Hannibalito3, Kashei and Perun.
The +2 are the new machines build for others. Robotus Vulgaris and the Unnamed (Hannibalito3/Brobot/Scotbot clone)
Just an overview of 4 of'm, as Unnamed was used by the new owner.
Hannibalito3 went into the fire. First fight, Full on spinner combat against the brandspankingnew monsterdrumspinner
Equinox
.
It was just gruesome, horrible. HDPE chips splattering around like blood from the stump of a severed limb. The flipperarm got a new shape Piccaso would drool upon.
After that fight, replacing the flipperarm with the spare, and hacking off some ripped HDPE to make it a bit safer to handle. A fast checkover didn't reveal any other damage. Unfortunatly, it was a fast checkover, and we failed to do a pressure test.
Next fight, a massive leak in the CO2 setup was detected.
With a limp flipper, only Leo's expert driving gave us the win.
Workbench, some skullsweat and a replacement Burkert and the leak was history.
After this, H3 was itself.
In the arena, fight, out the arena, replace CO2 bottle and battery, ready.
Kashei Besmertnye.
It looked so good, but after 2 fights, the axe failed. Mod 2 gears just lost teeth.
Removed the axe, and used it as a decent rammer.
Drives are fine, so it did the job.
Perun, the persistent one.
It exactly did where it was build for. Go in the arena, bulldozer the opponents into the wall. Rince and repeat.
Only wear and tear got 1 of the gearboxes of the GR02 drive. Replacement mounted and ready to rock again.
Robotus Vulgaris. A BonX/Hardwired2 clone.
The maiden trip.
Equinox again. But the armox/hardox armor held fine, some deep scratches and that was it.
Equinox's weapon sheared some bolts and needed a lot more attention.
Next fight was against Valkiri3 Pyro. And that was a nasty surprise.
The disk can cut 5mm thick armox 600, not like butter, but notheless as if a 12mm mill was punched trough it. One of the horns was ripped off and the drive-coverplate looks like it was used a doggies chew-toy.
One of the Saturn motors doesn't have magnets anymore, but adhesive powder.
This more needs more than a bit TLC and upgrades before it goes to the new owner.
I have to admit. On Saturday, I spend more time oogling the eyecandy (a few dozen nicely shaped Suicide Squad Harley Quins and other cosplaying beauties do that to a normal man) than working on the robots.
Sunday was my "drop dead" day, and I slept like a dog in a basket under a workbench.
And now, The upgrade/repair of Vulgaris.
