Hey its me the "Cheesecake the 1lbs combat robot record keeping guy in the comments" cant quite update Cheesecake's record right away as I am currently being held hostage by chinese spies. Ok got around to it: Cheesecake's record (as of video) Official fights: 44(39)-17(8) Exhibition fights 2(1)-2(2)-1 But any which way, its been an interesting recent couple of events for good ol Cheesecake.

Wonder how much print orientation could do with this, if you have the layers lines the other way or at 45 deg to split the difference between h and V spinners
Awesome little bot! It seems like you should maybe dial in some exponential into the steering. There's really no practical need for the little guy to turn so dang fast, and then your control would increase significantly. Also, maybe set a switch on your radio to swap the steering inputs whenever Cheesecake is upside down?
Thank you! But honestly, this is easier than you think! Witch Doctor Junior has a very helpful playlist for building your very first combat robot. Honestly, Cheesecake version one just used all the same electronics as the Fingertech Viper kit. You can also use free engineering CAD programs like Onshape or Fusion360 (Onshape for the win) to design your own parts!
Just recently found smaller weight battle bots and decided to start designing my own. Was showing my father in law your fights and he used to work with you! I co-op at greenlee but left before you transfered there. Small world we live. Love the vids!
Hey man, inspiring engineer here, thank you for crating these videos it really helps me stay passionate and motivated. If its ok, I'd like to make a suggestion, because of the control issue, maybe you could add a solid ball wheel (just like how a ball point pen works) to the front of Cheesecake just under your spinner so the centrifugal forces can't affect the wheel as much and with the wheel just rolling with the bot and it being Partially inside Cheesecake its won't lift your nose up nearly as much as a normal!
@@colon3_ i think there is some weight to gain by removing some of the structure of the top carbon fiber frame. i have never seen it broken in battle. remove weight from things that never brake.
I absolutely adore the sound of the little kids cheering on cheesecake in the background❤ especially the little boy that yells "murder him!" To cheesecake As spineroone was in the process of murdering himself 🤣
I think it's fair to say that the tiny area here affected the performance - the lack of room for maneuverability kinda sucks when you need room to line up the attack, spin up your weapon, or get away and reset.
Hello from the UK, control seems to be your biggest issue, have you considered Mecanum omnidirectional wheels? You can get them on fairly cheap RC models and you could cannibalise them. Just a thought. Goooo Cheesecake.🎉
Hey Alex! Big fan of the cheesecake and the channel. Have you thought about adding an IMU to the bot and implementing some PID control for yawing? Seems like it could make driving and turning a lot more reliable (less overshoot-y) in various states of wheel/drive system damage. Racing drones use a very similar mechanism and it results a very intuitive/second-nature level of control of the drone even as propellers get damaged. Your turning inputs would become desired turning rate in degrees/second rather than a constant motor command relative to the turning input.
agreed. i think a drone technology specialist could help with this design. Cheesecake is a wonderful machine and now requires more variety of specialization to become the best.
I noticed that during the fight with Spinarooni, your weapon was spinning in the opposite direction to theirs, which reduced the impact of your hits. However, in the fight with Nor’Easter, both weapons were spinning in the same direction, allowing your weapon to make stronger contact and bite into their armor more effectively. If you could adjust the spin direction of your weapon mid-battle, it could catch opponents by surprise and potentially offer a better angle to chew on wheels. I also noticed that you've gained a lot more space inside your robot since soldering the connections. It looks like you could potentially move the weapon motor closer to the wheels, almost right up to the wheel drive motors. This shift would bring the center of mass closer to the wheels, which could improve agility.
Hmm... I think you're right on both counts. I'm going to buy a new transmitter which should allow me to quickly change my weapon's spin direction, and I probably could make Cheesecake more compact now that I'm not using Wago lever nuts anymore. Heck, I should probably go get a dual brushed ESC for my drive motors instead of using two separate Fingertech ones now that they're all soldered together anyway.
@@adamp.8298 - I think Mudskipper might be retiring: there are new rules which reduce the weight bonus for shufflers, so Mudskipper won't be able to keep competing as he is. Too bad though, I had a new attachment for him, but you'll probably see it eventually for someone else.
I think getting that motor and blade balanced perfectly would be a great help for control. Possibly a slightly longer sweet tooth even if its slightly thinner but then it might just get caught on the bottom of the arena more often. Love watching your videos and im sure it is a massive balancing act teying to get everything to work perfectly and be the correct weight.
brother i love cheesecake. i have been following you and it for a long time. you have built a beautiful and dangerous machine. you should get someone else to drive it. i 100% guarantee every single car race that there has been in the last 100 years has not been driven by its designer and builder. i 10000% guarantee there has not been 1 ace fighter pilot that has also designed and built the plane he way flying at that time. hire a pilot please - for cheesecake. cheers brother!
Something i would recommend against controll bots is to use your cleat wheels. This is because they will offer better traction, and you dont really need to absorb any incoming hits.
The spinner has a gyroscopic affect would be better if it were perfectly balanced but that would need a proper machine to test it. Maybe grippier wheels would help control too if it can be done within the weight limit.
Your weapon's vibration is not the main problem. It looks like you are controlling Cheesecake tank style (the left stick controls the left motor and vice versa). A better solution would be to do what is called transmitter mixing. This would allow Cheesecake to be controlled with one stick while giving you much better control. Moving it forward makes it go forward while tilting the stick rotates the bot. With this simple change, Cheesecake would be much more effective.
Yes that is viable but incase of one motor malfunction or losing functionality it will be even harder to maneuver Cheesecake than when he has 2 motors on separate sticks and one of the motor malfunctions.
hi Alex! Perhaps you remember me, I asked about the voltage of your batteries. I’m still building my own combat robot and would really like to know from a professional what tactics are best to choose against this or that type of robot? I'm most interested in how to deal with drum spinners. I hope you notice this comment, thanks in advance.
Hi there! Well, a lot of the knowledge of this rock-paper-scissors game comes from just watching a lot of fights. However, in the case of powerful drum spinners, that seems to be the cutting edge of the game: no one really knew how to defeat Riptide in the last BattleBots tournament, except to use an even bigger drum (Copperhead). My guess is either a control bot like Free Throw or a wedge bot like Dulce de Lucha. That being said, usually robots with big drums don't have much weight left over for wheel guards, so going for their wheels with a big horizontal might work too, it did for me a couple of times.
@@suougashuin9030 Im actually making a drum spinner as well, and my name is alex, lol. but about a year ago, i reached out to alex and emailed him asking for some help. I designed a bot named manta ray, it looks like a manta ray. I just kinda thought it was interesting that we both did similar things
So I need some help I am going to try to make a grabber bot like og lock jaw and I don’t know how big I am going to need it to be. So what size normally are the ant size ones?
A good place to start is to get the basic electronics you'll need, and then design the robot with those parts to provide a s sense of scale. Cheesecake originally used the same electronics from the Fingertech Viper kit. I designed the rest of the parts in Onshape, but you could also use Fusion360.
@@alexsalchemy sorry for bothering you but I am having some issues trying to find the right parts since I am not going with a kit what controller do you recommend for new players?
@@nathanrowe1542 - I am currently using the FlySky Noble NB4, but the new Radiomaster MT12 apparently has all the bells and whistles, so that's what I'm going to try next, and it's cheaper too. I'll probably use the 4-in-1 version, and my guess is that you should too. The alternative (ELRS) is more of a niche, high performance thing apparently. Otherwise, you can buy good and cheap transmitters from places that sell other combat robot parts, like Fingertech.com, PalmBeachBots.com, and ITGresa.com. Any of those should work just fine, especially if you don't want to spend a lot of money up front. I personally prefer the pistol grip style of controllers ("surface radio"), but I might be in the minority for this sport, so maybe a more traditional stick controller is the way to go.
Currently, my weapon motor is a FlashHobby 2822 1800KV, and my drive motors are Repeat Robotics "Repeat Drive Brushed Mk2", all running on a 500 mAh 3S LiPo battery.
I like how you say you have a control issue... but those two spinners just spin up, have a gyro effect until the spinner touches the floor, and then randomly bounce around and hurt themselves hoping they hurt you more by luck. Thank goodness for judging categories.
Damn.. That was some good fights though Hopefully you can figure out a way to get him driving straight again Maybe you can use those10g you saved to upgrade that piece with something stronger
Cheesecake seems to fare pretty well in the damage dealing department when able to connect, but yeah, that mobility issue seems to have gotten a lot worse in recent matches, making it hard to get cheesecake into position to deliver the devastating blows we know it can.
Honestly, I'm wondering if re-using my weapon motors is the problem. The shafts no longer bend visibly since I started using harder ones, but maybe there's a slight bend that throws everything off just enough after a few hits.
Definitely worth checking into. I think your other theory of the softer mounting component is possible too. It could be a combo of both a slight bend creating small vibrations and softer mount allowing that to become harmonic. I would test replacing all the pieces one at a time to see what corrects it because it's possible it is multiple smaller issues coming together to amplify the problem. I'm assuming the motors are one of the most expensive components so Maybe a couple small shore ups of related lower cost parts can make reuse an option even if the shafts are getting slight bends.
Well just like "Jezzus", we finally saw cheesecake get nailed to the cross and taken home to its cave... so that must mean he will soon rise from the dead and be worshipped for the next couple of thousand years 😅
That take away moment at the end nearly killed me I was laughing so hard I nearly choked haha. Great timing and delivery of the "Jeezus!"

Congrats on the sponsor! Hopefully it will help fund more fights for Cheesecake in the future. Can't wait to see more.
this hobby needs more love
The Jesus comment fucking broke me
Cheesecake is good at splitting 3D printed bodies because you can see a crack right between each layer on the full body spinners
right!
Wonder how much print orientation could do with this, if you have the layers lines the other way or at 45 deg to split the difference between h and V spinners

Could you machine the weapon disk and collet out of one piece of aluminum/steel/titanium or would you go over on weight?
that first bot was moving like an austrailian break dancer...
would it help control to reduce the inputs, just seems like theres no ramp on the controls like its all or nothing.
I wanted to get into the ant weight competitions but then I saw includes cheesecake and I realise I would be cooked
Well don't worry, I recently moved to the Midwest, so now you only have to regularly fight Dulce de Lucha, Shin Kicker, and Repment ;)
Cheesecake reminds me of a Peppergrinder Revolver. "The safest place to avoid getting hit is to stand directly in front of it".
