Fighting till the end - Competing in Romania "RoboChallange" with Hotline

[@AdamWorks_3d]

Wow absolutely amazing video, it was super entertaining and most importantly hotline did great in Romania!

[@MikeOpath96]

I can't get enough of your videos and finally get into robotics myself!!!!! Just sad every time I go to buy your antweight kit it's always out of stock 😔 keep up the awesome fights!!!!!!

[@DrumBotics]

@@MikeOpath96 It is very great to hear! The kit is in the makings now and when I'll restock I will notify you before publishing🙂

[@MikeOpath96]

@DrumBotics that will be massively appreciated if you can as I'll buy one in a heart beat I'm from the UK and got to a few events now just to watch and think it's definitely next level to what's around here

[@mattstewart2750]

When I first started combat robotics I never had enough extra parts. Now there are always 3 full bots ready to go and at least 6 replacement parts for everything. I've lost a few times late in brackets because there were no extra parts.

[@DrumBotics]

Actually, up untill this point I have never needed any extra part for hotline when I competed with it. This was the first time and I learned the hard way.

[@mattstewart2750]

@@DrumBotics I know the feeling my friend, and I don't like it!

[@QWERTY_56_WASD]

It was amazing meeting you and having you destroy my robots. I hope we fight again in RC2025

[@QWERTY_56_WASD]

PD: The Hspinners with polycarbonate are mine. Thank you very much for keeping the aluminum bar that I gave you.

[@DrumBotics]

I hope to see you too, as I really liked competing here. No doubt I will come again.

[@DrumBotics]

​@@QWERTY_56_WASDI know of course! Just when editing the video I forgot the name of your bot. It was papubot or something like that, but didn't want to make a mistake. Yes aluminium bar and that green wheel is sitting on my shelf as a memorial!

[@QWERTY_56_WASD]

Thank you very much and happy holidays

[@DoggoDoesYoutube]

very nice!

[@markxr1]

Great! But did you ever find out what happened to the brushless drive?

[@DrumBotics]

Still not sure, I guess the problem was my reciever as I gave it 12 volts whereas it can only take 5 volts. But still not sure. Ordered some new am32 esc's so now it will work better and they are with a bec, so I can now give my reciever 5 volts and hopefully hotline's 4th version will be untouchable🙂

[@ineedachannelname8505]

If you want a better receiver, I recommend using an esp32. You van pair videogame controllers to it with bluepad32, its cheaper, you can customize controls, and most have a BEC built in

[@dropkickdojo]

Spotted our channel at 1:20 😂 love your content, keep up the great work!

[@DrumBotics]

Thanks! The red two disk beatleweight?

[@dropkickdojo]

@ nah, the VMA bot brawl video.

[@DrumBotics]

ahh, I see now. Great!

[@overmatchrobotics]

super cool to see the brazilians and other countries there too! will you build a beetleweight at some point?

[@DrumBotics]

Not brazilians, but mexicans and in bealteweight some kolumbians. Beatleweight? In the future for sure, but now focusing more on 1 pounders as I originally started from 150 gram robots now one pounders and after a couple of years hopefully will go up to beatleweights as I would really like to compete in NHRL.

[@MBotX]

Great video!

[@DrumBotics]

@@MBotX Thanks!

[@AQucsaiJr]

I think you could have taken the top spot if it were not for that brushless motor trouble!

[@DrumBotics]

Yeah I'm thinking like that too! Next year in Robochallange I will take revanche.

[@KingPieGamez]

Once again great fights, but you should really switch to sharp thin forks instead of wide flat ones...

[@DrumBotics]

@@KingPieGamez You are reading my mind! My 4th version of hotline will have 4 long thin titanium forks.

[@KingPieGamez]

@DrumBotics great minds think alike xD (can't wait to see it)

[@plplmaster8845]

Hey you should try comming to RCX 25 in Brazil

[@DrumBotics]

Brazil? Is the comletition as big? First time hearing that brazil has robochallange.

[@OptimusRoboticsPoland]

Polypropylene for the win!

[@DrumBotics]

@@OptimusRoboticsPoland Yeaaah, I might have overestimated the capabilities of polypropylene. It can crack after bigger hits not like TPU. That was shocking to see.

[@OptimusRoboticsPoland]

@@DrumBotics I was pretty happy with my parts but they weren't taking such a big stresses like yours. I'll be testing it more to really feel it, because during my time printing it I noticed even 5 degrees on the nozzle really changed it's properties. And also - different brands give different properties for PP, seems like every brand has a little different mix. I'll be sticking to Fiberlogy one for now as it was the most consistant.

[@overmatchrobotics]

@@DrumBotics UHMW will probably be your best bet, if you can cut it or find someone to cut it for you.

[@DrumBotics]

@@overmatchrobotics Yeah, PCBway can do pretty much anything so that would be my best option.

Uff
