I just bought a Vex set, so this is the first thing I made, a hammer bot. It eats ipods for breakfast

Stop! Hammertime!
(takes a bow)
I like it--kinda reminiscent of Deadblow from back in the heyday of BattleBots.

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
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.

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!

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

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... 
)

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

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

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.
