Re: Battle Bots, not impressed

Innovation First is very likely going to make a Battlebots version of the First controller. And the mechanisms were fairly simple, but you're talking about 4 lightweight robots. ---If you took say team #1 Juggernauts and mounted a smasher on it it would destroy all I seen. Juggy weighs twice as much as those robots you were watching and 'smashers', like axes and picks are surprisingly ineffective. ---Most of our FIRST robots could out manuever and with small modification could be dominate. ---Imangine the 'crab' of Chief Delphi. None of the First robots have the a drivetrain strong enough for the middleweight class except maybe team 267 the Demolition Squad. And even then FIRST robots are 20 lbs. over the middleweight limit as well. ---Did you notice that the robots were made with 1 exception by hobby persons at home, not students or ---engineers from a company. Again, you only saw 4 lightweight robots. The heavy and superheavyweights are made mostly by professional engineers. Dan |
