ACRO and Wayward are really innovative. Cool bots!

Glad you liked it! I love your design for Pepe Silvia as well!

Yeah, i think it could beat copperhead, but like really no matter the weight diffrence....😂

bro an omni shuffler is wild i'm impressed

Thanks! Unfortunate that it got wrecked so early, but as a proof of concept it showed potential. Hopefully I can get it working well enough to a run for real next competition.

A swerveshuffle bot and a vertical ringspinner bot. Neither you see everyday! Those are some very cool designs and all 3 were surprisingly effective. Really liked the small edits like the lego falling apart sound when the blue bot (Hurricane?) lost both wheels and the little gta5 music when you got sent out the arena in speedrun pace lol. Well done!

I'm just trying out editing so I'm glad you liked it hahaha. I know it's hard to see but the 3rd bot I ran also has a unique weapon ;)

@bami2 3 ай бұрын

@@PotatoCream Now that you mention it I thought during the matches something broke in the weapon but it has like a speed governor setup that the weapon expands while it's at speed? The crossfade during the spinup on the first clip made it hard to see but going frame-by-frame there is some interesting things happening there!

For Acro, a tip from just cuz robotics (he made a bot that had quite bad gyro issues, he made a counter spinning wheel to deal with this and it wasn't completely successful...WHAT WORKED was a plow/wedge in the front that prevented him from fliping face forward, the added ground contact solved the issue pretty darn good.

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

Something I've noticed too but nowhere near as uncontrollable gyro as his probably. I am at my weight limit and my frame is already as thin as paper so making a wedge would probably result in losing weapon mass (which already isnt a lot to begin with). I have the long forks on the side which help so I definitely will be reinforcing them so they don't snap as easily.

Mad scientist shows up to a robot comp and confounds everybody lmao. Maybe Waywards ring spinner could have one compliant bearing instead of a compliant motor mount, maybe an excentric nut instead so 1 bearing is adjustable but stiff.

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I definitely need to get that sorted out. I'll probably be trying out a compliant TPU mount but those suggestions seem interesting too!

@bale7297 3 ай бұрын

Wayward is such a cool idea with a great design! I would love to see a beetleweight version compete somewhere like Motorama or NHRL

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

I'd love to compete in the higher weights. Definitely a different beast in materials and costs but I hope find the time to do it and make something that can make everyone smile!

@Leatherface123. 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I felt like it was going to be renamed because of it sharing the same name as famed 30lb drum named Helios

@Termini_Man 3 ай бұрын

Thorns of Oglegoth is the definition of ground game. also wayward and acro are such unique bots, they are awesome

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! Thorns definitely has potential if they can get that lifter beefed up! This year definitely had a great roster of competitors. Hopefully we can see more interesting design for the next one!

@baalfgames5318 3 ай бұрын

Why did I think Helios/Acro was named Pain?

@vxunaTM_xuandanhphan 3 ай бұрын

May I ask why Acro have a ring vert because normally vert are powered from the center, not the side

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

The goal was mainly to create something that had a striking appearance. Although it is structurally weak compared to a standard vert, it benefits from having an offset center of mass since the ring is hollow and the weapon motor is closer to the bottom and rear of the build resulting in much better stability. The handling is also really nice even with the gyro since the most of the mass is closer to the ground, working to my advantage. Most importantly, it was a fun idea.

@@PotatoCream Gotta love it when sth purely aesthetic turns out to have practical benfit. thx for the explaination

@aria8928 3 ай бұрын

Love that acro immediately left the pit but it was ruled a double k.o. just part of why i think pits are silly esp when moderk higher energy bots are in play. It made sense in the 90's for tv robotics but it's time to move on imo

@PotatoCream 3 ай бұрын

It was a new arena so there will probably be changes (like not being put in front of a pit at the start). Still had some fun highlights tho so I can see the appeal.
