C'mon that was gold! I thought it was pretty punny!

So I spoke to bort, he was being shifty, but the implication is that he will be building something. Since he's always been as good as his word in this regard, I would suggest that you consider him definately in.

So we have:

Venator
Scissorhands
Demon (with 3 Kg death disk)
The Game
Bort's shiftybot Smile
Plan G (possibly)

That looks like a recipe for spark filled fun, did anyone phone Chris?

Agenda:

Smack robots around the arena
Grab freebie parts
discuss joining the RFL
Plan a mini scrapheap challenge

DOH! I just smoked two Victors, guess that's what I get for late night wiring; it was all looking really good until then. I guess I could find an old spare but at this time of night, I CBF to go thru all that again Mad

ouch, howd you manage that Shocked maybe next time Smile

so 3 robots, bit of a downer but had some pretty cool fights. just uploading them to my youtube now so ill add the links when they're done.

Demons weapon went flawless all day and its still as good as new no bent weapon shafts or loose axles. Finally managed to get it through an event without the slightest issue. What better way to celebrate then to build a new version Laughing

Lost two fights after the game easily tipped demon over. but i did get one decent hit on venator that went straight through some 6mm steel. which is a bit scary really. the next version wont be quite as powerful as this current setup tho Razz so its nice to know theres a safety margin in the current bearing setup.

At the end the current from the bigger disk managed to melt the battery plug which shorted it straight out and oozed acid all over the battery bay. a123 = gay123 but the fight was already over by then so eh Smile well happy with the weapon.

bring on v2!

Videos in delicious HD. Digging this video camera though Very Happy

Demon vs The Game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAsbgz2TWmI

1st fight - game wins. We didnt realise the walls werent screwed down so one of them fell on the game which got it stuck so it was restarted. Demons secondary ramming mode at the end is pretty mad lmao

Venator vs The Game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHAeOfLORpI

2nd fight - The game won. i believe the motor or gearbox on the lifter packed up.

Demon vs Venator the first attempt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On6rZXMT-bw

3rd fight - some cunning tactics see venator fly out of the arena to freedom Laughing i wish, haha, fight was restarted after we realised the gaping hole in the arena wall.


Demon vs Venator 2nd attempt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEC1EHbnT_o

demon won, tried to knock it back on its wheels at the end cause the wheels were still moving but it tipped onto the disk and smashed my lid in and some of the mounting tabs. BLAST! LOL

Demon vs The Game - Final - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgKgMrVvneo

game wins - quick end, missed the rediculous 720 (maybe even more) flip in the corner which was extremely awesome. hopefully someone else got it on film Smile

Venator vs The Game grudge match - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f5V66HZEE0

only two robots going at the end (out of 3 haha) i think venators wheel unscrewed.
