@@codered573 Apparently the wedge bot here is a standard kit bot you can buy online. Sounds like they're pretty effective and very widely used, which I could see being pretty frustrating for builders.
Ouch. Reminds me of the (Monty Python) knight in shining armour who had both his arms and both his legs cut off but still wouldn't yield: "Come on! Fight! I can still bite you!"
Can I ask, what kind of gearboxes and drive motors do you use? My beetle undercutter keeps breaking its own drive when it slams into a wall, I'm currently using the Chinese 1000RPM 12v motors. Trying to do a bit of a poll to see what more reliable bots use.
I use the BotKits motors here: www.botkits.com/collections/motors/products/22mm-dc-gearmotor-with-aluminum-gearbox I still break them frequently, but I don’t know of anything better available.
You can buy the riobotz Combat Robot guide. Or if you want a kit I would recommend going to www.fingertechrobotics.com And buying the viper kit and maybe the spinner ad on, they are also very easy to modify.
Seeing a D2 get absolutely mullered makes me happy in ways I should probably tell my therapist about.
My therapist sent me here.
It's completely reasonable, seeing entire competitions dominated by them year after year makes me want to put my fist through a wall.
@@OhCosmos. excuse my ignorance but what is a d2?

@@haratofu Damm that's pretty crappy. Thanks for letting me know!
And the judges have decided the win goes to the D2 kit!
Story of my life.

Sounds like my plastic Guitar when I’m playing “One” on Guitar Hero 3
YES! Debacle went the full distance , against a d2 kit , and won !
Ouch. Reminds me of the (Monty Python) knight in shining armour who had both his arms and both his legs cut off but still wouldn't yield: "Come on! Fight! I can still bite you!"
'tis but a flesh wound!
The Black Knight. "OK, let's call it a draw".
"Come back here, I'll bite your legs off!"
"Look you silly bastard, you've got no wheels left!" "Yes I have!"
@@kevincrady2831 He has 1 fourth of a wheel left.
Still going, can't see what the problem is. Started off with too many wheels in the first place, obviously didn't need all of them!
they should limit how many d2 kits can enter a competition. I have seen some events completely flooded with them
Probably because they are so easy to make. Same with push bots.
Purple bot is the Monty Python Black Knight of all bots.
All wheels off:
Purple bot: "Come back here and take what's coming for you!"
Why did they start upside down?
Rob said that when he loaded in the wedge was dragging badly and it didn’t drive straight. He improvised by flipping it over which fixed the problem.
TeamVelocity It put up a decent fight upside down to be fair
Wow! Excellent driving!
0:20 from the look of the battle box, this wasn’t Debacle’s first fight that day
hey, how are you controlling the bot with an xbox controller? did you put a transmitter internals in it, or is it a special device?
It’s not an Xbox controller, it is an FrSky X-Lite transmitter.

@@TeamVelocity I see, thanks! The quest for an eternally reliable drivetrain continues.
One more thing, is it normally the gearbox or the motor that dies first?
I’ve had failures of both.
Ok, thanks again for the info.
time to do the "Tombstone Shuffle"!
What happened to the blade near the end of the fight?
The battery was completely drained and overheating.
@@TeamVelocity ah, ok. Thanks!
Lol I don't know how well I'd be driving after that bot kept going with so little tyre left on it!
well as long as a part of it reaches the floor it has some traction to move lol. these tyres took real beating though
@@Radovanslav I'd probably be laughing too hard to drive
@@RennieAsh yeah lol
That’s a way to beat a bot, big exposed wheels are your favorite to hit aren’t they?
The sound of Debacle ripping through a D2 tire is so satisfying.
TeamVelocity when isn’t it?
Mmmmm fresh wheels
If the purple robot had been powered by energizer batteries it would have still have been going.
this millenium falcon lawnmower is my favorite
3:15 how is it still moving lol
As long as a small part of the tire is still touching the floor and the drive system is still working, it can still move
Because it’s a D2 kit. Those terrors can take full on hits from heavyweights and keep on moving with minimal damage.
I have to make battle bot like debacle .Can you people help me ??
You can buy the riobotz Combat Robot guide.
Or if you want a kit I would recommend
going to
www.fingertechrobotics.com
And buying the viper kit and maybe the spinner ad on, they are also very easy to modify.
I like debacle it's horizontal spinner like tombstone in BattleBots👍👍
Tombstone vs Inverted Stinger
"You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel...."
It's a tombstone replica ???
Lol, that was an awesome fight!
What do you use as a weapon motor and do you know how much kinetic energy you are actually able to store?
Weapon motor is a Turnigy 3730. I haven’t run the KE numbers.
@@TeamVelocity thanks for the info!
The driver of the d2 needs more practice. They misses chanced when the other robot was unstable
3:00 Oh lord, he comin'!
what engines are used for the tires?
I use the BotKits motors here: www.botkits.com/collections/motors/products/22mm-dc-gearmotor-with-aluminum-gearbox
rip D2
Остался без башмаков ))Но респект оппоненту-держался до последнего!!
Mini Tombstone vs mini Duck!
DUCK's wedge is not angled and can lift, robot fighter (the wedge in this video) has an angled wedge but it cant lift other bots
Early stoppage. Robot Fighter got robbed.....
gotta go with Debacle
