Battlebots Nationals 2009 - San Francisco

You sir have just pwnd me. I accept my defeat in the battle of the biggest mouth, but i shall not, no i shan't not be defeated in the competition.

SenaiERI

very true.. i really hope i can have some real-time interweb access at competition with my laptop and not just my phone... and i will make a "secret results of the battlebots competition" thread lol. And the website only says anything about taking videos and photos of a match. i guess pit photos are unrestricted? I hope so... i take a poo ton of video whenever I'm at competition. Last year I got 4 hours worth!

Slingshot testing of the 120lb high school class, supposid low pressure

Looks pretty good, I just have a sneaking suspicion that a spinner could cause all kinds of problems if it hit the front before the arm reset though.

Id wait to see with actual pressure, alot of things can change haha
We will see er well i guess they will see not me lol

Pressure should be irrelevant for the reset time - in fact, it may be faster with a lower pressure.

EDIT:
and by reset time, I mean between when it's done raising the arm and when the arm is all the way back down.

i ment i wasnt very impressed by the flipping action or the speed of it, but then again this aint the olympics lol

someone going to competition, remember to spread this forum's link around.

It is very tough as there is no Wi-Fi in the tents. I can tell you who won in the 15 lbs. 1st=eXecutor 2nd=Fluffy 3rd=Exterminator

Great that fluffy hung in there

How bad did he lose in the end?

Did anyone go undefeated?

Executor went undefeated, I'm pretty sure. fluffy went undefeated except by Executor.

What did Exterminator lose to?

I don't know what its first loss was to, but its second loss was against Fluffy.

I think its first loss was against Interstellar Overdrive...

IO didn't beat Exterminator. I only faced them after the gearbox failure and they put me over the wall.

That's what I had thought. Welcome to the forum by the way, glad to have you here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Exterminator went up against Executor and tapped out as a result.

one of exterminators loses was to axiom

Nope. That was eXecutor. They had a driving contest...eXecutor had white smoke so Axiom tapped out so they could keep their best robot in.

then executer beat fluffy twice?
Im confused haha
