We need a summer competition in MIAMI

Lets get a plan together and fight this summer in florida.

Does anyone other than starbots have a suitable 15 pounder arena in florida?

keep in mind you have to pay to rent the arena and get insurance for the event
Theres alot more to a competition then just getting bots together and getting an arena.

Please go to the introduce yourself thread before posting anymore also thanks

There is a competition planned to be held at the Miami Museum of Science in Miami Sept. 19th. All teams are invited to compete. It is being coordinated by StarBot and the Museum of Science

sounds like a plan!

sounds like a competition.

sounds like Fluffy won already...
but sounds like a lot of fun. lol.

isnt it badass having a nationaly placed bot lol

oh yea it is!! but we could have won and should have won it all. that would have been even better. next year Bales is planning on making same demonic changes for Fluffy to make sure i comes out in 1st. I am scared.

Really? You think that would help out? I think rectangular teeth are best. more edges. What would the difference be?

Yeah, just an ultra-hard material for the teeth. They might be too brittle though, I'd have to check.

how about diamond coated?? heeheehee!

Against our armor? still not gonna work lols
Its still being tested tho

Oh, it'd work alright, it would just work both ways. Diamond cuts diamond. Unless you've got your hands on some of that weird material that's harder than diamond on one direction of its crystal structure...

hehe

Its not available commercially and like i said were only testing it now

Oh yeah, diamond would have no trouble going through titanium (for more details, see the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness).

zirconium coating... tough stuff..

Like will said titanium coated in a zirconium composite
its a little brittle though
We havent really taken many hits from except for one from an undercutter, and a little bit chipped off in the path of the bar, but it never really bit soooo idk haha

Wow...googlebot is getting smarter. The ad above this thread was a diamond store.

Sean you know the banner ad is a random ad, it's not one about diamonds on my comp right now, from a list of ads google bot puts together by searching for key terms throughout the forum right?

haha mine was talking about diamond cutting and jewelers...
