Brawling With The Best... And Winning? - Derive Combat Robot part 3

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2024
- After a few years of development my featherweight combat robot is ready to compete at the highest level in australia. The Robowars Nationals is an open feather event in which 13.6kg robots from around the country compete to be crowned that year's champion.
Derive is a dual weaponed robot designed, manufactured and built in house that intends to destabilise and control opponents. Joining the team are Jordan and Chris to assist in keeping the machine running through the rigors of competition. These robots are smaller than the battlebots you see on TV but the concept is the same, two robots enter the arena but only one leaves.
Thanks to James Blue for much of the fight and slow motion footage. Check out his channel and the entire event's unedited fights here: youtube.com/@BlueGreenRobotic...
If you're interested in combat robotics there may be a club near you. Often they are active on facebook. At least in australia there is one in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Awesome video! Only feedback I have is maybe do the slow mo replays after the action happens, instead of before we see it at normal speed, just to avoid breaking the flow of the fight. Love the robot design! Might try stealing the idea for a similar antweight.
Noted
@BrokenLinkRobotics I loved the "real time" slowmo
agreed
The double suplex at 18:53 is probably one of the coolest moves I've ever seen in robot combat
big facts 😍😍😍
What a weekend! Just being on the team was an incredible honour. 🏆
Thank you so much for dragging me from Perth to be a part of this! I look forward to our next meeting.
23:50 First of all, hello Maker's muse,
second of all:
This is THE BEST video to show to a beginner who wanna get into combat robotics
there was spark, fire, technical stuff, robots flying, this video is just perfect.
Congratulations, really good content, you really can see the effort behind it, keep it up :D
Best wishes from hungary :D
Not only good engineering, but stellar driving too!
Gotta say that the amount of control you have with this bot is insane, having a plan and actually executing it are two different beasts. Very well done.
Aussie competition without a pit of unfuness? i'm in
Amazing job, the driving was really well executed on top of a really nice bot
Well done James, a Masterclass in design, manufacture and driving with a great end result.
Rewatching that last fight. Every flip he got on you, you bounced off those side skirts and all the potential damage of the fall was lost. Amazing what a bit of flexible armor can do.
Great work, and well done!
That's IMPRESSIVE!
I love that you include videos from the enemies showcasing the damage!
I wanna make a robot called ‘integrate’ so that if our robots fight, we can solve for f(x). Great robot btw 👍
What an awesome channel to find, love how deep into the engineering. Most people just skip to a bunch of fight footage.
My current favorite content on youtube. Keep it up!
I just thought of the idea that a fully round spinner with ejecting teeth would maybe work pretty well. The teeth are hidden inside the assembly until it spins up fast enough at which point they come out. Saw some moment where you pretty much held the opponent right on top of you with their wheels directly in front of your spinner but unable to spin up freely. Would be really interested if something like that could even remotely work👍👍. Keep up the good work
Limits on weapon tip speed? After being spoiled on NHRL fights, that's such an alien concept. If a robot destroys their enclosure, they build a better enclosure next time. Which has happened. Like when Dutch Oven melted everything inside the enclosure.
Nice fights and good driving.
Great build and design. Fantastic driving !
Knew there’s be a fire video on the way after watching the fights on the Australia Champs full tournament video, Congrats from Jacksonville Florida USA
Love razer259's ringside commentary lol
Thank you so much! 😄
Congratulations on the big wins! I’ve been following you ever since you introduced Subdivision, and I’m happy to see how far you’ve come in your robot-fighting endeavors. Rarely do rookies win a tournament, especially in the higher weight classes! I hope all goes well in the future, and that we’ll see more of featherweight Derive!
so cool! I love seeing combat robotics all around the world
This has been a fun journey to watch so far. Congratulations on the win!
I gotta say I am loving the real-time slow-mo edits, it reminds me of when you get a crit-hit in a fighting game!
absolute legends. well done!
Congrats on the win! Much deserved.
Amazing video as usual. You do such a good job explaining and showcasing the build and thought process behind it so it’s very satisfying seeing it all come together and work as intended! Your channel will blow up for sure if you keep it up!
Very entertaining series enjoy the detail that you go in to every aspect.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Very Well Deserved Victory, I just cant get enough of this content
It's a very cool video, super detailed, it's like I went through these competitions with you. Thank you for sharing your experience, your grabcad profile always gives me inspiration on how to make combat robots.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done, I really appreciate your channel.
A very good first outing, I’d say! Looking forward to seeing what the spinner can do once she’s fixed up!
GREAT VIDEO!
Congrats, mate!
Wow, great video! Im amazed with everything from the bot, the engineering and the driving. Fling king's rocking drive pods are a super interesting concept. Possibly a way to make a 4 wheeled horizontal??
Congratulations!
good job Kriby, I am going to be making my own combat robot. one for destructive and one for non destructive. the non destructive one is inspired by one of your robots.😁
@AussieMich keen to see it
I wonder if the belt slip isn’t an advantage in some ways as it’ll have some give when the weapon hits. Hopefully transmitting less stress to the motor.
Great video
You should try using a V-Belt instead of a flat pulley, I believe you would get much better torque transfer to the weapon motor and thus much improver spin-up time. Either way keep up the good work, Im loving your vids!
You are one of the few channels that I drop everything for. Derive is a beast.
Congrats man!
Very nice video, enjoyed it plenty.
The v shaped belts cover a bigger surface area. There are also ones with multiple ribs for even more grip.
And maybe its possible to limit the output of the motor when the weapon speed is low.
Like throttling the gas before take off in a car keeps the tires and clutch from slipping.
Best of luck in future battles, keep them videos comming. Cheers
Congratz! :D
And what's the total cost to build it ?
You’re a great driver, driving skill won you lots of these fight, Derive is also great ofc
can I reprint your videos to Bilibili?
I think the videos are great and helpful to CN combat robot community
try so sort of sticky clue on the belt to help it grip
YIPPEE NEW UPLOAD!!!! :3
enjoy
bring derive to NHRL!!!!
@overmatchrobotics I would like to, but it is quite literally the farthest combat event on the planet compared to where I live. Would cost many thousands of dollars.
@BrokenLinkRobotics So we will see you at the March event? Can't wait to see you show Jamo how to drive his bot... 😊
on second thought don't come and dominate here too, we have enough good robots...
Could steel wool be used as armor?
Is that angus from maker's muse?
So... when do we get to see your detailed plans on how you will fix that spinner to be more effective? We all know you have like 20 ideas... share...

Great show mate! Broken link to James Blue gos to 404.
Fixing now, thanks for the heads up
If you are using a VESC use HFI mode to remove dependance on encoders or hall effect sensors.
its already been 3 months ALRIGHT LES GO
mini whiplash
4:20 🤣
What are the most common failure modes you are seeing on the ESC's?
@jotham123 User error. Vast majority of dead VESCs were my fault. Pretty robust all things considered.
@@BrokenLinkRobotics
Could I ask what specific vesc you are using? No specific reason other than just being curious, they looked like vesc 4s
@wes8486 they are all VESC mini 6.7s of both makerbase and Flipsky variety. All but one have the heatsinks removes to decrease volume. Worked fine without them. Should add VESC 6.7s are just 4s with updated components
@@BrokenLinkRobotics I've been considering purchasing Trampa vescs for their quality but the price is huge compared to the whole flipsky lineup. In the end if the cheaper ones work as advertised and don't randomly die (being used in optimal conditions) I'd be happy. Thanks for the info.
If it's CO2 it's not 3000 PSI? Do you mean compressed air. CO2 turns to a liquid at about 800 psi
broken link more like attached link
You might want to add time stamps
How come? Out of interest
@@BrokenLinkRobotics it helps casual viewers skip around at their leisure. Seth Schaefer from team Just Cuz gave me that tip a while ago.
So another 4 wheel drive vert that abuses forks wins a tournament, what else is new 😂
