PKW Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Hi to all! waiting to the sun to film the RC Dawnbreaker I've edited and posted an old video that I've made to test my battle bots: crab and scorpion. During the video me and my cousin were talking in italian but don't worry: i've added some subtitles just to translate our wisecracks ;) Some stats about the robots: GRANCHIO (crab) weight: 900g weapons: claws motors: 2 XL(wheels) 2L(claws) strengths: 4x4, can keep the ball weaknesses: (hardly) flippable SCORPIONE(scorpion) weight: 900g weapons: flipping arm motors: 2 M (wheels) 1 L (reloading winch) 1 old 9V (gearbox) strenghts: atomic-like powerful weapon, defensive/offensive weapon weaknesses: hard to control (really), low traction enjoy the video (likes and comments are welcome if you like it ;) ) Edited April 27, 2015 by PKW Quote
miguev Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Love it! I gotta share this with my friend who's building a sumo robot, he wanted an RC robot as opponent to train the EV3 robot. Quote
PKW Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Love it! I gotta share this with my friend who's building a sumo robot, he wanted an RC robot as opponent to train the EV3 robot. thanks! I tried to make an nxt vs PF fight but I think is something really unbalanced, because a sumo robot is only something that move randomly on the field an hurt the opponent, while a "human driven" robot can aim to win the opponent without program limits, or also escape to its attacks. so a PF opponent is useful to test the strategy but is also something you will not find in a sumo competition… anyway, if an ev3 robot win a PF one (with same power/weapons) I think it is really well made and well programmed! I'm interested on make an NXT hose robot :3 Quote

Commander Turtle Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 What great robots! Is the flipper done with Lego spring pieces, or something else? I'd be really interested to see a breakdown of that weapon. Quote

I'd be really interested to see a breakdown of that weapon. just a moment: I'll edit this link with the topic of the advanced version of that robot ;) EDIT: http://www.eurobrick...opic=104571&hl= this is the link, you can find there an LDD file, it is powered by a green rubber-band ;) not a lego spring This is really cool wow can't wait for your other addons for this fun machine . thank you, next week I'll post a small tournament with 3 robots ;) Edited April 29, 2015 by PKW Quote
