Battlebots starts in 15 minutes on ABC. Episodes are now only one hour long. Second half of the round of 32.

Will another bot win tonight because of muh vagina? Tune in.
>>
Gotta start building a bot now
The front will have flaps that spread open and then slam shut and be filled with spikes
>>
>>71493196
What a terrible design. If you accidentally bump into it, it falls over.
>>
>>71493196
I'm recording it. I'll watcch it later
>>
>>71493296
that's exactly what happened in the fight too
>>
>>71493247
Way too complicated and you will never catch anything. Clamp/entrapment bots rarely work. Complete Control is an outlier.
>>
I participated in a national robotics competition when I was in HS, but the robots were peaceful and productive.

>>71493349

Allegedly they cut a couple instances of chomp failing so that they could justify the judges retarded decision

>building a vagina into the bot

You literally cant lose
>>
>>71493196
>>71493296

such a shit robot, makes me think that all the LIDAR shit and automation was suggested by the producers of battlebots to give them a reason to wildcard it. I just dont understand why you would go to the effort of doing all the electronic shit and then give it a 10 foot high centre of gravity.
>>
>>71493296
No shit, it got tipped about 5 times, got a peck or two in with the hammer, and got the win. Of course the gamer slut judge was the tiebreaker.

It's fine though, will be fun seeing it meet Tombstone or Icewave, and Discobot will certainly get a wildcard for not raising hell on such a BS decision
>>
>>71493435
oh wow. that's ridiculous
the judges always seem to mess up. they should fight until a knockout
>>
>>71493196
let me guess there will be a box on 4 wheels and have a spinner on top

>>71493470
The trouble is that almost every robot only has 4-5 minutes of battery capacity, and sometimes you have two bots that will never knock eachother out. In the chomp fight, neither robot was capable of damaging the other.
>>
>>71493575
Yea, with her original bot she entered when she was like 13
>>
>>71493196
Battlebots is meme-tier now. That one fucking spinning bot changed all the rules; there is no more competition after that.
>>
>>71493601
Biteforce was waterjet cut steel, it was not slow and it was also not a flipper. I buy parts from the people who cut it actually

The more stupid shit the robots have tacked on them the more likely they are to lose. The real winners are the simple compact bots with spinners. Tacking a bunch of sheet metal garbage on your bot is just putting out more stuff to get ripped off by a spinner bot.

And for all you /tv/ guys who dont watch sports.

This is exactly what watching NFL is like.
You pick a team, you immediately have grudges and fans you hate. You immediately have friends with random people because of your team. You have roller coaster of emotions when your team does good or bad.
It can be extremely satisfying and exciting.

Pain at it's most basic form is just a signal saying "hey, something bad happened." Your brain will instinctually react to it, but I don't think bugs have the brain power to consciously acknowledge it.
>>
Does the jaw not flip upside down or did it just break?
>>
>>71495013
>Are their nerves even complex enough to feel pain?
Yes. Complexity of a nervous system isn't a defining factor for the ability to perceive pain, it depends on the sensory receptors that the system is equipped with.
>>
>>71495052
I mean he DID use his jaw weapon to stop the drum, so that should count for something.

guys...what if that walker bot and the humanoid bot from last week combined
>>
>>71495412
Im not sure either.

TentoMushi was a bot the girl designed and helped build with her dad back in the late 90s.
Its not some jump on the ABC Gurls bandwagon, she and the design have been around a long time

It was built with several large elecromagnets that were meant to keep it from tipping, but they changed the floor this year from solid 3/8" steel with 1/8" of traction paint to two layers of 1/8" steel with a 1/8" gap in between and 3/8" of traction paint on top, so it didn't get nearly as much downforce as planned since magnetic force scales exponentially to distance (10lb vs 200lb).

My mistake; you're right. Regardless, the difference is non-linear enough that the change in the floor was the main thing that invalidated their design decision. Not to say that's something they should have hinged their bot's success on to begin with...

>My mistake; you're right.
Mostly, I forgot to mention that it only acts like a/r^2 sufficiently close to a pole, the approximation doesn't hold everywhere because it's a vector field with Del.F=0.

>Regardless, the difference is non-linear enough that the change in the floor was the main thing that invalidated their design decision. Not to say that's something they should have hinged their bot's success on to begin with...

HOW DID YOU GET ACCESS INTO MY PRIVATE FILES

>>71496700
get Adobe Autodesk (free for students) and make a digital proof-of-concept. Show it to sponsors and find a place/team to make it. That's my plan. If you're 100% serious, I'll join you. I'm a neuroscience student so I don't know much about the mechanics, but I'm good at physics and design/drafting because I used to help out my architect dad as a kid.
