Awesome build! Very nice design (usually I prefer studded panels in old System style, but this one really looks good!) I think, you underestimate the potential of your motors. The car has very good acceleration - it gets it's highest speed very quickly, but that is the chance to improve car's specs - maybe, it's time to add more gearing up? (sorry, if my English is a bit complex for understanding) Probably, your car has a big part of unused torque, so - you can achive higher speed.

A very interesting build! But the steering rack is placed in front of the suspension, so it causes a kind of inverted Ackermann steering geometry - it leads to the model not going into corners well. I had that issue in my model and it led to me rebuilding the whole front suspension, as well as the engine bay. Better rework it earlier, than later)

@nicjasno That's amazing! I'm looking forward to rolling prototype!)

That's why I made a border on my table)

I checked your assumptions and updated the post. I can say that the bot is made the way it was invented, there is no especially large distance from the ground to the bottom of the bot.

Well, I'll redo the video, but it should be noted that this is a contest of battle bots)

Thanks! Other participants used boards or wheels to show the bot's work - maybe I just need to replace the minifigures with this? Just to show that a bot can break something)

It is necessary to clarify something: I know that it is not allowed to use the second robot in the video, but is it still possible to use minifigures to show the work of the bot? Or do I need to retake the video?) Link to entry

Thanks for comments! Today I'm going to make some improvements, photos will be in the evening

The name comes only from the color and shape of the bot :)

I'm going to make changes in gearing tomorrow. So, all results will be soon) Thanks for comments!

Thank you! Yes, you are right, but I can only use what I have, and in black it looks more brutal :)

13. Black Egyptian Cat: A SBrick Signature move: "A hit from heaven" Dimensions: 25x25x25 studs Specifications: Drive - 2 XL-motors; Hit mechanism - 1 M-motor; Power supply - 1 battery box; Remote control - 1 SBrick. This bot can move in any direction with a pretty high speed, which helps it to strike quickly and from different sides. The hit mechanism has a short recharge time, and the shape of the hit part is pyramidal, which allows for dotty and rapid strikes. All the important parts of the bot are hidden inside a solid shell, which does not give opponents the chance to turn it off or immobilize it. Link to discussion topic

Hello everyone! Just finished my batllebot - Black Egyptian! Before building the bot, I thought - what can inspire me? And thought came to the Egyptian pyramids - they stood for centuries, therefore, they were built very competently. The shape of the pyramid is attractive to me, so I decided to embody it in my future battlebot. All I had for this bot was a few motors, a battery box and a SBrick. I wanted the battlebot to be mobile, but it could also bring significant destructions, so I made the upper part of the pyramid detachable in order to cause powerful hits. The destructive effect of the hit is also enhanced by the fact that the entire impact force is applied to the small edge of the pyramid, and not to a large area, as in the case of a simple hammer. The robot's design is very solid, its wheels are hidden deep inside, like the power button, which is a great advantage in the combat. Specifications: Dimensions: 25 x 25 x 25 studs; Drive - 2 XL-motors; Hit mechanism - 1 M-motor; Power supply - 1 battery box; Remote control - 1 SBrick. ---------------------------------- UPDATE #1: In accordance with the recommendations of the moderators, I edited the main demonstration video (cut off the ending, the original version is still available on the Youtube channel). Also, according to the proposals of the forum members, I played with the gears in the chassis - a pair of 12- and 20-teeth gears is not reliable, but a pair of two 4-teeth is reliable enough (you can see it in the video below). The bot's speed became slightly higher. Also, at last two balls from the Mindstorms series arrived to me. I planned to use them as supports, but they lift the bot a few millimeters more than necessary, because of what the wheels just spin in the air. A more precise adjustment of these supports will take a long time and lead to a total redesign of the model. So I will not put them into the construction. UPDATE #2: I finally edited the main video and replaced the 20- and 12-teeth gears with 4-teeth gears for greater reliability and speed: ----------------------------------
