Hypno-Disc was cruel and spiky!. From Joe. X

[@slowbro-]

20 years!

[@YeetLord666]

What some people don't realize is that the spinning disc is actually acting as a gyro to keep the entire robot from being flipped over. When you spin 7 or 8 lbs worth of disc in a circle like that, it takes a much larger amount of energy to get it to change it's orientation.

[@ParallelSyntax]

It can also make it incredibly unstable if the force alters suddenly. Plenty of evidence of that happening particularly on the ones using spinners as the entire shell.

[@williamsnider9772]

But it’s not 8 lbs, it’s 20 kilograms

the US robot wars then was hosted by Mick Foley and in the USA had Battlebots as the recent UK robot wars was cancelled but the rebooted Battlebots came on but as of 2020 the battlebots events were cancelled due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak.

[@adamcroft80]

I have to say that although I like the seasons that Craig Charles did the original couple of seasons with Jeromy Clarkson were so much better. They had everything races, obstacle courses etc was more about all round skill rather than just brut force and general fightings that the later seasons turned into.

The revamped show of series’s 8-10 was a mere shadow of itself unfortunately, all the charm had been lost from the show. Also this video is a great example of the hypnodisc team being very sporting, not going in and destroying machinery one the opposing are clearly immobile, and always gracious in defeat

Ah this was the time when it was recorded in an old RAF hanger at Newton, Nottinghamshire. I was the local pistoe and had the pleasure one Saturday morning, walking into the hanger and these machines were all there lined up. I went straight over to Hypnodisc and patted her and gave her a kiss for good luck. Happy days.

[@garrangery8180]

@@izumiculture4030 Spinners are widely used for a reason. They can store a very large weapon payload when compared to any other type of legal weapon, so its kind of difficult to justify using any other variety of weapon without major design concessions to make it competitive.

[@homefront1999]

They should've honestly made a reboot of this series but a no holds barred. You are able to make your robot however you want. No one would be by the arena, so safety wouldn't be an issue. Just seeing these more intense and crazy matches would be amazing.

[@chosone2]

Even BattleBots don't go that far, and they're crazy

[@233Deadman]

I feel like that would have issues with insurance though, and no TV show is ever going to risk running things without that.

[@johnhawkins5314]

I remember the series they made just a few years back And Carbide was just unfairly strong and is safety hazard tbh

[@233Deadman]

@@johnhawkins5314 Carbide wasn't even the most powerful spinner in the reboot, it was just the most reliable. And it seemed more powerful than it was because of the fact that heavyweight spinners had been banned from competition in the UK for about a decade beforehand, due to an arena breech incident at an event, so people hadn't kept up with how to armour against a modern one.

For anyone who has done VEX or FRC, a good push bot is honestly one of the best robots that you can build.

@@Lampofilm First Robotics Competition. It is one of the biggest highschool/collegiate robotics competitions. Super cool robots

[@mehashi]

It's also the one that de-hypes the whole battle sport. "It's just an rc car". "Where are the weapons". ""Is it going to do anything or just drive in circles?".

[@tings.]

​@@mehashisee ngl it's obviously effective but they're robots, why use cheap easy tactics to win when you can have fun with actually developing a defendable bot

[@bami2]

The best weapon in the history of robot combat, past present and future is a wedge.

[@generalgrievous6762]

Back when the bbc had shows worth watching

[@Cheeky-fingers]

The Hypnodisc team always lacked the killer instinct in the ring. They cared about the expensive components in opponents robots and kept damage to a minimal. Caught them out at least once when they suddenly lost power and the opponents regained theirs leaving them the last moving.

[@legoferrari14]

Worth noting that unlike more modern flywheel-type weapons, Hypno-Disc's weapon was directly driven from a drive motor instead of off a reduction gear or pulley belt/chain. This meant that the shock of heavier hits would recoil much more severely through the internals.

[@SpitfireFortyFour]

​@@legoferrari14 That's not true regarding this version of HD. I think that was the case in S3 but after that Hypno-Disc had a belt driven spinner.

[@Whoami691]

I seem to recall they said somewhere that these robots are very expensive to build and they didn't like ruining all the parts used to make their opponents bot once it was immobalized.

[@CGoody564]

You can tell they're hesitant to do excessive damage once everyone else stops moving. They're happy to take the countout, and rightly so. I thought it was also out of empathy for the opposing team, but that's speculation.

[@dspencer8827]

Sadly yes

[@ToastGhost]

So crazy to think that I've seen this robot IRL now, chatted with the Rose brothers and even held the iconic disk (it's heavy)

[@michaelprice3040]

Hypnodisc was one of the best designed robots in robot wars. low center of gravity, solid build and that disc just removes everything it touches.

Amazing fights. Thank again for uploading

[@josephbarfield6930]

Although hypno disc didn't do as good In this series as it did in 3-5, it still performed better than chaos 2, panic attack and wild thing in series 6

[@derekobidowski3301]

Hypno-Disc series 6 was the last time it fought. but other more powerful spinners superceeded it like Carbide/Cobalt, and Tombstone and Son of Whyachi of Battlebots all 3 spinners have heavier spinners greater than Hypno-disc and rotated twice as fast as more knetic energy is stored to do damage. Hypno-Disc was the first bot permitted in the UK with the use of a spinning flywheel weights 20kg carbide over that battlebots Tombstone 75 lbs. as Hypno-disc's flywheel then is a well proven design spun under 1,000 RPM. first powered by a single Bosch GPA 750 watt motor in series 3 and 4 and two 750 watt motors for Extreme. then a more powerful Lemco lynch type motor for series 5 and series 6 till its final televised battle.

[@greggv8]

To think that Jaime Hyneman's Blendo ended up retired (AKA banned) from Battlebots, then years later bots like Tombstone are literally throwing others around the arena like kicking a ball.

[@kim98677]

What an insane performance all around, that stove was such an awesome reveal 🤣

[@user-qf5so6pt7w]

[@Patrovisch]

Nostalgic times right here, there weren’t really big damaging bots when this show started, so hypnodisk was the big show stealer when he showed up, like Tombstone was in the Battlebots series when he showed up. I must say the Battlebots series has much better bots with a lot more damage, but thats all learning and improving on these old show bots, these robot wars bots where like a beta version of what we have now

[@cassiusnoyb6499]

BlooperSphoof1 you are the man this is so nostalgic. I used to watch this shit when i was 6

[@SpencerHHO]

I doubt it'd stand up to modern armored spinners like carbide very well.
