This one took alot longer to get out than expected due to difficulty in obtaining some critical footage. This should really be the last event for this version of Derive, with a tournament career record of 16-0, not bad for a first feather! As stated the priority now is definately the flywheel flipper but the grabber will return as my open class robot. Keen to see how future fights play out now that i've got the drivetrain sorted, only took a dozen matches to get there! Expect the first flywheel flipper video in a few days.
I really like that you don't present these as "I'm awesome, I won", but rather as an engineering style analysis of builds, match ups, and strategies. Especially highlighting the sportsmanship between yourself and competitors. It's great to see.
Big fan of these videos. Just wanted to say I love the way in which you mix the actual combat and explanations of how the damage and systems of the robots work. You're top notch!
Congrats on the win! A retrospective on Derive would be a cool video, you could go through what worked and what didn’t, and even how you would fix the issues in the future.
Great work mate, that was some excellent driving. That drive train performance was also super impressive, though it pains me to see an Aussie come over and destroy a bunch of Kiwi bots on home soil 😂
Nice one, James! It's great to see Derive doing what it does best! The undefeated and undisputed featherweight champion of Australia and New Zealand for 2024. 🏆🏆🏆 I can only hope the guys at NHRL are paying close attention...
Beating the ground game of the team that built Endgame is impressive! I wonder if making the spreader bars out of the same material as the armor would reduce the amount of damage you take, but that could just end up shifting that damage to the frame.
Being springy in the right places is huge for survivability in combat robotics. My 30lb machine (same weight class, but in the US) uses the same material for the side armor and also for the outer frame rails. My inner frame rails are steel, which is very heavy, but worth it as I've literally never had the core frame fail despite having enough weapon power to put bots into the roof in the local 20x20x10-foot box.
Excellent driving as always! Three events undefeated is insane for a first robot in the class, keen to see your attempts to replicate the trick with Loft! Appreciated the depth of analysis for the fights too.
Well done! It's awesome to follow along with the development and performance :) Be careful with the music in the last showfight, don't want you getting copyright strikes
Hello, this is an awesome video! I just finished building my ring spinner that is hugely inspired by Revolve. I want to say thank you for the awesome build video and I really had a great time trying to replicate your design!
@@BrokenLinkRobotics I don't have the knowledge or fund to make the awesome motor you did, so I'm using a standard brushless motor that spins the outer ring via a gear system.
It was fun! Shame we had so much trouble with our drive belts but hey, for a first attempt I can't say I'm not proud of out teams effort. Hopefully we meet again some day soon.

Not bad he says, a first version with 0 losses. Hell yeah man, really impressive!
Who needs self righting! lol. Awesome looking arena, big grats on taking home the win.
Cheers

Hmmmm might just do that

I reckon both the bars and the frame need to be stronger. Only so much one can do, but theres definately more to do! I've got the weight for it anyhow
Whoever was diving endgame at 0:58 really knew what they were doing
Your driving is inspiring. Just always on the spot, aggressively getting in there.
Congratulations on the win! Masterclass in driving + really cool to see the behind the scenes of these events!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
That flywheel flipper CAD reminds me a bit of Ziggy. I love it.
Another inspirational video James, keep 'em coming

Yeah was nervous about that but appears the audio was crap enough

Hubmotor or something else?

The sound of them bots smashing against the walls is so grizzly wow

Definately need a rematch at some point
Nicely Done!
Very cool!
congrats
Congratz!
