Re: ESPN & BattleBots: Gearing Up For College And Pro Competitions
Hrmm, I've always wanted to do one of these competitions, and its in the summer so thats nice. I attended a BB competition about a year ago and to be honest, it was kind of boring.
There was one fantastic crash and then the bot was disabled and as they say in the south "Dun fur" It definitely would be fun to get some college guys together to do this tho. |

Re: ESPN & BattleBots: Gearing Up For College And Pro Competitions
Too bad it's only for college teams, as my team is in the SF Bay Area and we usually don't do much with our old robots anyway...

I just read the rules, and was trying to think of a design I'd be okay with building, and then came to the realization - the point of this competition is to HURT other robots
The thought of destroying any robot is just......depressing ![]() |

When I design for robot combat, I think of trying to make the most durable machine I can (on top of the usual ease of manufacturing, cost, good practices, etc...) because I want my skills tested. Now, to get those tested, the other guy has to be able to lay some smack down; so, he's expecting me to return the favor. But, I can admit, It's also nice to see some good robot on robot combat sometimes. |

Re: ESPN & BattleBots: Gearing Up For College And Pro Competitions
using past events as a reference ~$200
although if you are worried about that cost I would suggest skipping it. I would bet that most people with a bunch of FIRST stuff lying around would still need to invest $1500-2500 min to have a competitive machine. |
