(since somebody had to say it...)

Stop! Hammertime!

(takes a bow)

I like it--kinda reminiscent of Deadblow from back in the heyday of BattleBots.

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Haha! It's so cute! Smash smash aww!

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Very cool, i'm just not sure if it has the kind of force needed for a BattleVex (if such a thing existed). BUt i like the speed at which it pounds. And a very good project with a Vex kit, especially for getting used to it.

Looks like a perfect device for scaring the cats :D

That's what I use my Vex Kit for... I also pick up little tetras 166 made as trophies for the mini-competition we ran last year.

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Thanks for the idea!

Three cats at my house better watch out. :yikes:

Looks more like a shovel wheel mining machine than a BattleBot to me... Speaking of BattleVex it'd be an interesting side game at an off season event. The main rule would be, no making a robot inoperable. The goal would be to incapacitate all your opponents. (eg. flipping, pushing into pits in the field, lifting off the ground, so on) Now that'd be an interesting game!

VexBots Silver Hammer

"But when she turns her back on the Vex
it creeps up from behind!

..."

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

ya
it would be like battle bots and sumo
so happy together

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

VEX battle bots?

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

yes but no hurting other robots just fliping and pushing

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Our VEX team challenged me (as base driver) and another member of our team (as the only independent owner of a VEX kit) to a VEX-off. We need to build a bot to beat our FVC bot in a 1v1 version of this year's game.

I really don't feel like building a ball scoring mechanism, so I thinking about just building a flipper and then parking on the platform :D

Gee, I love those servos in the VEX kits, especially when you can control it directly with a joystick.

This hammer thingamabob looks rather fun, hey, wait a minute. hmmm... (now if I put a turntable on top of the robot and then the servo, hmmm... :rolleyes: )

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Nooooooo! Be nice to kitties! :D
(Have two new kittens at my house :) )

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

What about foxes (foxii, fox, ??)? there is one making a horrible sound outside my door right now.

I want a vex kit so badly. Unfortunately, i dont have the savings for it at the moment :(. Me and my brother would then be able to have mini-vex competitions among ourselves :)

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

Dude there on sale for $150! Jump on it before it jumps back to $300 ;)

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

So if we made a 100 of these robots, would our competition robot be done in the 6 week time frame?

Re: pic: Vex hammer bot
 

our robot is gonna be amazing im phyced :D
