Hopefully soon dude. Glad I got to fight you. I learned a lot for version 2. See you on the next time around.

I want it fast so that I can watch more robot combat

if history repeats itself like it has with the other sports, one league will buy out the other and keep the most famous name. Which is also an exciting prospect

Blake built a really durable bot and he will have a truly deadly bot someday I know it!

@@TeamVector441slaughter more will be one day be like gru

Thanks! Ill see you their!

Fo sho a scary bot to go against. Thought I had a perfect design until the final.

Blake is a national robot combat treasure. And that would be sick if they did, just need to get bigger!

Thank you! Yeah Vectors frame is pretty sturdy. It would be interesting to try and see how I could integrate a hub motor into vector. I know @JustCuzRobotics just came out with a new hub motor for antweights recently. I might try something with that, but it would take some time to figure out how to integrate vectors giant weapon to work, but its definitely something Ill look into!

OH YEAH!

Thanks you!

Appreciate it!

I know right!

Id love too but as of right now costs for flights are difficult to do, I would do a lot more fights in other states if I had the money. But as of right now I'm trying to save for NHRL in the distant future when I make a 3 pound bot. But thanks for letting me know!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support! I do wanna upload more often but its a bit difficult. But I did want to make a series on actually building a battlebot and were to start. I may start that up for the next video series as their aren't any events until next month. You know what Ill put up a poll and ask what you guys want on a community post. Either a build video on Vector or How to build a battlebot!

@@TeamVector441 WOOO Thanks man!

Hello! And thank you!

Thank you!!

Surprisingly I've never lost vectors front wheels during a fight, except when going against horizontals. The weapons so wide and has so much reach, if you try to aim for the wheels you end up hitting the weapon which is why its so wide :)

Thank you! The best way to improve is learning from what didn't work. Failure is the best teacher for me!

Vector is like the Borg…adapt and assimilate!

Thank you! Yeah its ok though, I didn't mind second, I'm just happy I found some things to fix on vector. And I am trying out a solid axle made of aluminum. I wanna see if its more viable then steel or titanium or if it just explodes lol

Thanks!

Thank you! My driving is still improving but i don't mind being the Hypershock of 1 pounds lol

Yeah its sick!

Yeah I realized that after I got the part but it still works good enough for the setup so far. And I am trying to see if I can use a larger battery, only main problem I'm facing is weight. Trying to solve that with the next version of the rails with vector! And I also have tried to solve the shafts breaking off problem, It goes against every fiber of my being but I'll be running a solid shaft that connects from one rail to the other like a typical eggbeater style bot would. It adds structural strength to the bot and also makes it a lot harder to break the main shaft. Hopefully I can test it out soon once the parts arrive.

Yeah I am going to replace it with a LYNX one as soon as I get it. Had problems with the previous switch in the past so its good to switch it up lol Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks!

Its ok you said it in spirit my friend. And I wouldn't be so sure, I do want to make a 3 pound version of vector, and if he performs well here. I do wanna take it to NHRL to see how he preforms! And I know lol, because of the configuration of the weapon and simply how wide it is, it had to be this way otherwise Vector would fly everywhere like last time with each hit. He still does but less lol.

@@TeamVector441 I’m thrilled to see it

Unnecessary and overkill, its going on Vector as soon as possible. This way I don't have to worry about my power switch anymore so that is a great recommendation! And I don't mind as long as it works lol, just super expensive, the Ti beater has been through like 8-10 fights so far and is still going strong! Trying to get to the point were the material is so high grade and durable you don't have to worry about getting more for a while. But the rails are still a work in progress...

Kinda like twin beasts(kinda), its a interesting concept! I wonder if it would be possible on vector? The only thing is weight in this class and overall complexity. I found out that when I over complicated Vector he ended up with a ton of small failure points that ended up causing serious problems down the line. It certainly is possible to do though! I would have to see if it would be viable for the weight class, thanks for you input! :)

🤣

@@TeamVector441 You actually replied no one Notice me

@@scythe-ue4ut I see u bro 👍

@@TeamVector441 ty

I thought about doing that. But believe it or not that weapon motor finally died after 6 months of use! The whole setup is designed to put the least amount of strain on the main weapon motor, their is very little tension on the belt and the pulleys are smooth so as to reduce shock on the motor. If I had went with a hub motor weapon style I would do more weapon battle hardening but as it lasted this long without issues I'll keep going with this style of weapon mount. Just gotta figure out how to keep the belts from flying off lol

@@TeamVector441 what if you make the pulley design like a yo-yo so the belt could fall in between and not come off unless the weapon comes off

Yeah I saw a few bots like that! Only issue is that vectors weapon is hollow so Id have to figure out how to adapt that to fit.

Its 4 x 4 x 2 feet large. Though it varies from arena to arena. Personally I like the larger 8 x 8 x 4 arenas that double for 3lb but its up to you on what you would like to build!

Thank you! I use nylon for the main electronic compartment of vector, all the electronics are housed in essentially a box in the center of the robot with a lid also made of nylon. This way the electronics are protected from debris and such. Easy nylon is great to use! Just make sure your printer can print it properly at the correct temps and speeds. I learned that the hard way lol

I tried a design that covered the front wheels and it ended up being incredibly heavy. For now the design like this actually works really well, because the weapon is so large bots when trying to hit the wheels end up hitting the main weapon instead!

Hello! I use repeat robotics MK3 Mini brushless planetary drive motors. They are very torquey and fast but they get hot real quick especially on 4s. If you use them make sure you have some sort of heatsink or cooling adoratrice to make sure they don't burn out. Its paired with repeats dual brushless ESC as well, connected to a mini receiver for the controller. I use a rc car controller for vector with some mixing to control it like a rc car, its also modified so I can control the main weapon on it too. Here is a link to the motors, ESC and controller/ receiver I use :) Motors: repeat-robotics.com/buy/mk3/ ESC: repeat-robotics.com/buy/repeat-am32-dual-brushless-drive-esc/ Controller: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DPMVVKN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Receiver: www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Receiver-Control-Distance-Transmitter/dp/B07YWLM521/ref=sr_1_12?crid=32625WMJBDP5S&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zUkeB1ULE_ZusRmjb3oTWm4GkR7s67XqKmCMRM_E2twjv948hB3QJFSJAbOTugwlLsz6ESsu1VXKW61YWEJA0iLiQes1--Tp2JKzNab5HMnVWANHuz9YNMRkaYOKE9qDgpDZ63sisUykRSMrS7RL7ReB-U60qiGbvQVJltgLnDMYBVCG9k4MB1XFtEwV8uakrmL7vJSeqmaCyn-_8lQSdVzSA75X7R90GiO_ZeXPjiTGocnt3ki8b9-pG6W36W-VybEQyvPPYJPUIWiJ3yoaRj8NBCa35TW6ksjNbQum2Vs.4eeI6Izx_t25HS6xMD_d7TKJjMeJAvEXkUNkqZyGowQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=Radiolink%2BRC4GS%2BV3&qid=1720470941&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=radiolink%2Brc4gs%2Bv3%2Ctoys-and-games%2C153&sr=1-12&th=1

@@TeamVector441 thanks, i really appreciate it!

Grade 5 titanium! So far pretty durable just dulls easily, lasted 8-10 fights so far and still going strong!

I personally use Premier Pro, use it for all my editing and video creation :)

@@TeamVector441 you pay the monthly price or is there some free/student version that I’m unaware of (I use fusion 360 as my cad of choice bc of the student version haha)

US! But I know their are a few competitions in the EU.

A cookie for you fine sir 🍪
