YAYYY TEBEBRE ROSSO SANGUE

i love the tone shift with banana bender's music cutting in

None Could Escape *it is* Clutches

+1 maker muse

03:09 and not forgetting the gyroscopic effect a vertical spinner has on your bot 07:35 as demonstrated here. Also a well designed horizontal spinner can effectively work either way and isn’t bothered by being flipped🤷

Hey James, gotta ask, what Weapon Motor do you use in Derive(150g)? I've been hooked to make a similar bot, but the weight is flying out the window. Any pointers?

Spilt was mean little bit man.

THE KEYGEN INTRO??????? hell yes fantastic choice

I really wanna see death roll give Skeletor a solid shot with its spinner and see what happens. Lol

Goddamit just saw the text error at 1:08

13:22 I hear you Homestuck fan! Haha

The commentary from the three hosts for this was absolutely terrible, they seemed like they had no real interest or knowledge in the subject matter prior and they were just madman production staff. Pretty dissapointing. I know people will disagree but I find this class rather boring, the risk of proper damage and destruction is what makes the fight more tactical and engaging.

The 10 sec countdown making you see nothing for the last 10 sec of the fight This must be the worst thing i've ever seen in a competition feed

If this is the last Competition for a while. Are you planning on doing any Videos on updates or Design changes. Also will they be anything on everyone Favourite bots your 150g Antweights?

the grabs and lifts on the saw midcutter while it was grinding at the lifter forks were insanely cool

I'm running a US antweight lifter grabber this weekend at an event and this video has me pumped up for my fights!!!

Another great video James, keep 'em coming!!

Masterful driving, congrats on the win.

Dang... I thought I actually respected you until I saw that you use a MacBook @1:13 . I knew you were too good to be true... all jokes aside, congrats on another win. You have designed and built an amazing bot.

15:05 That "double suplex" was an unexpected awesome move!! xD

what I learned: if your bot is ever under the weight limit, add weight.

Fantastic! Well done James!

That guy next to you after you got the trophy needs a bit of a shave 😂😂 In all seriousness was so much fun to be part of your featherweight domination of Australia this year. Hoping to challenge you for the title next year

Cyber Truck's driver seemed like a bit of a poor sport. He wanted nothing to do with your win, and just wanted to gtfo lol

nice homestuck music

Congrats James! Derive being a true suplex monster as always!

a robot with jackhammer

The sides almost remind me of FIRST FRC bumpers.

Huge fan of your channel! Wondering how difficult it would be to convert Derive to a crusher from a lifter. I want a mini Quantum clone slowly crushing holes through your enemies.

I quite a bit like Derive's whole aesthetic. With all the whacky bots painted bright colors coming in with fun songs, I think a smaller, unpainted bot that comes in with keygen church is really intimidating. It's design is just doing one thing and one thing only, really well. You optimise your loadout and armor for each fight, strategize about how best to approach every bot, optimise after every event, and only then think about theatrics. You came to win, and you deserve that trophy.

Geez you make driving look super easy

Kevin Milczewski would be proud.

Haha the way that derive dragged around skeletor reminded me of a small dog Also, what's with the big green bot?

love the keygen church intro music

Dang! This was an incredible event! I'd love to see you in the states in events around there if you're around, but maybe you can see if you can fight death roll one day or join them??? That'd be a sight to behold with your talents.

Good to see Banana Bender is still out there, must have been 5 years since last time I've been at an event in person. Love the video as always!

Well deserved

The countdown graphics block too much of the video :( Small clock in corner is fine.

Bravo mate you drove flawlessly in the final, a well deserved win

Michael Myers Theme Song would have been an epic choice of entry music.

Brilliant!

Why was deathroll in that arena?

That was epic! You were a beast in that box. Total control! Very entertaining fights! For your forks, I'd consider reshaping the barb into an elongated trapezoid. You can keep the benefit of increasing the wedge height in the front that the barb adds, you get a small "platform" on top that will be useful for repositioning, and when you are stuck, the more gradual shape of the trailing edge of the trapezoid means you'll have a much easier time getting unstuck than with the barb shape. Plus, it's a more ridged shape for the front of your forks than just a wedge spear.

I was hoping to see you grab the saw bot from behind and drive around using it as a weapon against the hammer bot. Though, I'm sure that would have been very difficult.

That sting ray bot looked kind of cool, probably built by a very cool team.

Well deserved!

Due to all the copywritten music baked into the fight footage, the video isn't monetised and I have no control over the ads. Hopefully it isn't too obnoxious.

Awesome bot! What was that crazy cathedral entry music? I didn't see it in the music list. Definitely fit your bot though. Loved the banana bender RKO!

Good choice of entry music, did not expect some key gen church

How do you design your asymmetrical flywheels and make sure they are balanced?
