#battlebots - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Way too much hate tossed at Chomp! I applaud the team for thinking outside the box and doing something different. My son was at the event and uses pneumatics in his insect class bots. I asked him if he got to talk to your team and share designs, but apparently the teams weren’t allowed to mingle in the pits (covid).
Generic spinners dominate tho, i miss crusher bots
I just love jascha little
Yeah, it may not be the most effective design, but it’s a really cool bot
Chomp is amazing piece of engineering. It's sad that hammer bots do not do well.
It would be a beast as a shell spinner
I mean... shatter got to top 8 which is very good, also all spinners have weight limit so it wouldn't work
Many bots dont put better armor on top and bottom so those hammer weapon can take that as advantage
Chomp is one of the few bots pushing the technical envelope in a very different way. Kudos to them for putting in that work.
What an interesting and amazing team!
Thank you for bringing us a small insight!
I think BB would do well to have segments like this dedicated to letting the fans learn more about the bots.
Chomp is a fascinating bot. It's utterly unique and very hard to predict in terms of how well it will do in a given fight.
I didn't know that the lidar system was non-functional. The accuracy of the hammer strikes have been very impressive, so I assumed that they were automated strikes! Kudos, Chomp team!
CHOMP is going to be a force to reckon reckon with next season
Unfortunately no....
Remember, this was the only bot to ever beat bite force
I remember watching that. Got Bite Force right in the weapon chain.
I'm amazed that a 500lb turreted hammer walker *can still jump into the air.*
Chomp - the coolest, heaviest but the kindest bot in battlebot. I love it so much, there are not much bot with heavy armor and being huge in Battlebots. When watching Chomp's doing defensing, it's like an moving bastion walking around the battlefield but I really hopes it can have some winnings...
To me, hammer bots are very entertaining and fun to watch. I hope chomp gets rid of the fire, and use the weight for more armor or more air. I can't wait to see it back in the box next season.
Mooooore. More more. Love this channel and these inside looks.
Happy about more episodes!!
chomp is an engineering marvel, but im sure even the team knew it would be over at the first brave horizontal spinner to get one good hit in
but this sport is all about innovation, someone will find some way to make a 500lb walker dominate
I can't wait to see Chomp again!
They've got to have it at least sprint in one of their matches.
Man jascha is one of my hero’s
I loved chomp before but when I found out that she was related to the judge
Man I was giddy
would be cool if Chomp could be equipped with a "Mary Special" equivalent - a sword designed to snap weapon belts/chains.
Why dosen't the hammer spin around half the axis along lower arch. That way you could cover a hugh swing through with each hammer swing giving you more power.
Wonder if you could use the legs as actual weapons.
Some sharp spikes that the bot can go up/down and it kind of becomes a "razor" claw on each side to tear into an opponent.
For that the hammer could just act as a fishing rod to hit and grab a target, then slice it with the legs.
The arena is also made for wheels, its flat and has basically no obstacles in the way, so its a street.
If it had more ups and downs and some more difficult terrain, wheels would be much less optimal.
I second that! or if there were some random small or pillars welded to the floor, the generic spinners would fare much worse.
This version of chomp is an engineering feat of beauty. I hate to think of the damage these components are subjected to. However, it appears that as a battlebot, this version of chop is less effective than the last version.
Chomp is so cool
I love these videos
Was there a live event this Saturday? If so how'd it go
I love you guys! I love Chomp! I love your brains! Keepin it weird man, that’s the way to go!
Program autofire of the hammer along with fire. Maybe a single wheel in the center for controle instead of legs. When you see 500 pounds jump, you know this thing will smash through any thing.
Explore aimbot programing with image rec
hope we will see Chomp in 2023
Imagine, if you will, a 500 pound Wrecks.
In one fight the other bot was strong enough to push Chomp despite its weight. Will anything be done to the “feet” so it can’t slide along arena floor if pushed or that will just cause other problems?
Chomp can plant itself flat on the floor. But this is a testament to how powerful some of the bots are becoming. The use of magnets may be an option too, but that could be an issue to needing more air to lift the bot back off the floor. Unless the magnets can be mechanically engaged and disengaged at will.
@@wishusknight3009 I was thinking more along the line of rubber. That along with the weight might be enough.
@@joen0411 Yeah it probably could
Amazingly cool bot. But over-complicated and not that efficient. As much as I like the walking mechanisms, it's just too slow. As much as I like the rotating head and swing arm, it's just misses most of the time. Maybe with some more iterations Chomp can become a deadly bot. For now it's a very cool bot.
It’s a beautiful robot
I Wonder How Much Faster it could be using the Type of Walker Drive that Silent Spring Uses or If Its even Possible?
Silent Spring is a shuffler which isn't categorised as a walkerbot under modern battlebots rules and thus wouldn't be allowed.

I'd like to see an automated box rush system for a fast robot, sort of like launch control. Hit the 'go' button and the robot shoots directly across the box and automatically rams the other machine reliably (unless it's even faster, I suppose.)
I'm so looking forward to the day when battlebots is just two ai driven bots actually fighting with Boston Dynamics level of hardware.
I probably know the answer to my question is wight but I feel it would over been better to use a hydraulic system for the walking rather than pneumatic that way theres more operation time
I have to imagine that the new rotating “giant nut” walking stand is a product of the Chomp team?
Nope, Mark Setrakian - th-cam.com/video/NsFBHqbNKvA/w-d-xo.html
That is a real interesting story. So I have a very broad question to all of you battle bot type. Are any of you all approached by DARPA, US Defense types, Alphabet groups??
This sport is becoming more like crossout everyday
Pog
Drop the flame thrower and increase armor and air capacity.
im no expert, but in a competition where the goal is to tear your opponent apart, wouldn't you want your bots parts to be easily replaceable and relatively inexpensive? this seems like it is way too complex and if/when it faces a bad loss, it could be out for the rest of the season. seems like they focused way too much on the hammer part when hammers are known for doing poorly in battlebots. shouldve tried to change design completely, couldve kept the name if you changed from a hammer bot to a grab/push bot.
Had to look up a video to see if work. It looks impressive, but slow. Find another weapon and it might be a much better bot; hammers haven't been very competitive.
👍
Such appreciation for the time and engineering. But I must say I hate the remove human part. That takes away some of the sports skill aspect.
And honestly watching the fights was just hard and very boring. Watching a spinner take out the legs so easy. Hundreds of hours gone each hit.
I genuinely think their time is better spend on things that arnt battle bots. But moving us into the future. They are incredible people and what the can do is amazing. But what chomp can do has really always been a let down in the arena since season 3 in my opinion. The other bots got so much better.

I'll bet this costs a pretty penny
Nothing left in the budget for propane tank armor. Lol
So sad chomp ignited itself. With this ridiculous overcomplication you have to love this team/bot.
Fix the side skirts.
audio is just too painful to listen to.
inside? this is about strategy not robot engineering
