Death Machines and Broken Dreams - Mini Mulcher MakerBattle Recap April 2023

Күн бұрын

Mini Mulcher was taken out of pseudo-retirement to compete in the Maker Battles Hartford CT event in late April 2023. I simply grabbed it off the shelf and its bag of spares and showed up unannounced with basically no preparation whatsoever for this one. Did that lack of preparedness bite me or would Mini Mulcher prevail? Watch and find out! Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video, check them out at: bit.ly/PCBWayJustCuz

Just realized I forgot to say what happened in the last fight: SPOLERS . . . . Remember how the motor shaft is now right hand thread? I for some reason thought that the Shuriken blade needed to be flipped upside down so the sharp impact points would hit to tighten the nut holding on the motor gear. Turns out I was wrong and it loosened that way. I got a few hits in with the weapon direction reversing over and over intentionally to get a hit, then tighten the nut again, then get another hit, etc, but eventually it loosened too far, rose up and jammed into the weapon so it could no longer turn at all.

You could always travel a little further south for some events. Currently I mostly compete at Macro in Maryland and there are a few others in that area. But I am also working on starting an event in Richmond, Va. I was at January NHRL. Drove up the night before and drove home after I was eliminated. Figured I needed closer events so I made one.

3:31 I thought that was a rectangular body for Mini Mulcher at first. Lol also - I was going to say - Mini Mulcher could possibly benefit from the same stability upgrades Bloodsport got when going from the rounded body to the more square one

@JustCuzRobotics Жыл бұрын

Yeah definitely, thats the plan when I find the time to redo it. The main advantage is getting 4 wheels so it doesn't spin under the weapon so easily.

Holding up your incredibly pointy death robot while having a big ol bandaid on your hand is peak environmental storytelling

@JustCuzRobotics Жыл бұрын

Haha. That injury was from a box cutter, not the robot. I'm pretty sure I would be missing entire chunks of hand otherwise.

That's a fun coincidence. Thanks!

so i rewatched the fight and the wedge to me didn't seamed to attack that much and you were always facing each other up to the part of the spinner jamed. so for me, you should have the W there.
