Debacle vs. Flower Power - Robothon 2018 (Second Fight)

[@FaithfulMC]

How many of these foam wheel wedgebot kits did you fight?:D

[@combatrobotkev4363]

Unfortunate, man.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Is the pit deliberately designed to be a double hazard? Falling into it is perfectly reasonable, but placing it exactly a beetle-weight bot's width from the wall so that it acts like an 'out-of-arena' side-rail trap seems extra mean!

[@revimfadli4666]

Especially with those raised edges that aren't found on most other pits, peculiar...

[@syxthehick485]

Curious, I'm looking at building my own beetle, somewhat similar in design to K2. Do you have any recommendations for a weapon motor? I know the direction I'm wanting to go, just a matter of trying to get money and, where possible, information from other BW builders before making the jump. As a sidenote, are there any restrictions against the D2 kit? It feels like the more BW fights I find, the more bone stock D2s I see. Seems like a bit much to me

[@TeamVelocity]

I don't have any motor recommendations for you, a vertical spinner would use a very different motor than Debacle. I prefer inrunners for vertical spinners but I haven't built a vertical beetle in a long time. D2 kits are competitive but not invincible. I'm not in favor of rule changes that dictate which bots are allowed to enter.

What a debacle

[@FryGuy1013]

Yay, pits! /s

[@terrance2234]

i guess debacle caught hayfever eh?

[@hex1044]

I need you to respond to this. Is it true RoboGames 2019 is cancelled?

[@TeamVelocity]

Yes.

[@hex1044]

Oh dear...

[@mathieudesbiens2972]

[@Beto-LM]

How many pounds?

[@TeamVelocity]
