Taco Bell should be sponsoring you guys 😁

This video is criminally underrated

I just need Taco Tuesday to fight either Kraken or Ripperoni And then my life will be complete

Taco Tuesday is awesome! Love the unorthodox design and theming, it's definitely a huge departure from the 2WD/4WD vert archetype. As for improving mobility, maybe some rare earth magnets on the bottom would help? I know Shatter from Bots FC rides on omnis and uses the magnets for improving traction. Not sure how well they'd stay attached to a UHMW shell though, maybe thru-bolt mounts to the frame if that's possible?

Bro unironically uses windows wtf

Brilliant vid, I wonder if a larger block giving more contact would of improved your results?

7:10 - Um... I'm pretty sure that cutting grooves in your tyres actually reduces their grip on a smooth floor [emphasis on the 'smooth']. A knobbly or zig-zag tread is only useful if you're running over rough or loose terrain (grass, sand, gravel, mud), or trying to disperse a lot of surface water. As long as there's sufficient weight pushing it into the ground (and 250 lbs is definitely enough), a completely 'bald' soft silicone-rubber tyre offers the optimum grip on a smooth surface. Whatever. Great fights, great commitment, and I really enjoyed your video. Thanks very much for uploading!🙂

What a rad video. I'm a new fan of Taco Tuesday.

Who uses forks on tacos?

You can potentially counteract some of the gyro forces by using a gear/friction drive instead of belt drive, and rotating the motors counter to the weapon. There are some beetle-weight bots that use this very very well (they also use counter-rotating friction drive flywheels geared up to spin very very fast so they don't need much mass to get the right MOI). A friction drive might also be useful to avoid belts being destroyed too. Dunno, but if low and wide drum spinners can get flipped over just from gyro forces alone, then a weebly wobbly bot would probably be devastated by them.

You need a motor drive with more agility <3

Wen or You Gunu Gow Ruw BATTLe DUm

Im begging what did you use for the radio system

Glad to see you finally upload a video! It's been six months, hoping to see more uploads soon :)

Let's give 'em something to Taco Bot!

"we'll give you something to tacobout" this one was really good lol

Green forks and yellow forks that look like lettuce and cheese

can confirm that lettuce is crazy sharp lol

does it get stuck on its back? not it’s top, its back

Going from designing Krave-branded Alligators to desining the world's deadliest Taco. What a journey!

You refined a lot of things on the bot but didn't make it any less drunk XD

ok now make it foldable

I'm so excited to see you catch your stride. So much promise.

Maybe it needs a different type of weapon? Like a puncher or overhead saw?

Cool bot Cool fights. Keep us updated!

And to think, this all started because you wanted to make an antweight bot out of a purse. Funny how life works sometimes.

For your Omni, you may try casting the rollers out of a Urethane for better grip.

So tempted to try and build my own version of this...

I agree, forks are lame

What a fun robot this is. A weapon at the front and a similar one at the back, would that improve manoeuvrability when at full speed? If 2 weapons have to be lighter in weight, 1 disc per weapon or maybe drums?

Taco Tuesday looks decent. Of course, there will be some upgrades to improve. Overall, Taco Tuesday is ridiculously awesome.

This is the most awesome tacobot ever.

have you thought of making it a cam shaft shuffler?

My recent obsession has been robot wars. I’ve been seeing too many KZbinrs doing robot wars for it to be a coincidence. I can see, in the future, a big robot war competition with a bunch of KZbinrs!!!

The second match is about what i expected. Perhaps TT could use a rear counter flywheel to remove the gyro malice . Also no reason it can't also have fork or wedge

Taco Thursday*! (*for me at least) :D

I love your bot! I ordered a shirt and can't wait to wear it front of the team magnitude folks at the next NHRL.

Weld that chassis together!

Its a bird... its a plane... its a ... 250lb taco?!

I wish I had my bot ready for next season 😔

It literally looks AI generated

love the design if only ther was a way to kep it planted to the floor and overall durability are the ony things i can think to improve

Like taco Tuesday love magnitude. Sorry. 😂

What a creative and innovative design! 🌮

That's awesome to see the taco perform! I hope to make a 250lb version of my bot some day so Taco Tuesday is an inspiration to all of us! I would say their might be a few things you can do to help with your drive issue along with weight distribution. One would be magnets, a few well placed ones in the middle rear of your bot and it would help significantly with the bot swinging wildly or not turning at all with gyro. Or you could also try a counter rotating mass to try and help with the gyro, both would help significantly with driving. Hope this helps!

Are you running that batteries for the drive/weapon in series or parallel?

This is so crazy. I remember watching you compete with danger zone at CIRC and now you have an actual battlebot! Maybe someday i could make a big bot like that too

Daaang. The gyro forces at the 250lb class are insane. Great fights, though. I think Magnitude is going to definitely give Witch Doctor a run for its money-and hopefully you guys can too!

I think instead of an omni wheel, you should try swerve drive. That way, you don’t have to rely on friction to make a turn or to go straight.
