Pepe Silvia Vs EVA - Motorama Robot Conflict 2024

[@Superkuh2]

The other bot managing to tank those hits was unexpected. Pepe Silvia is such a beast. I love when it goes up on it's tippy-toes and daintily inches towards opponents.

2:17 might be suboptimal in terms of weapon reach but I love it when Pepe walks on the tips of the legs. It's like a crab of doom.

It doesn't move well on the tippy toes. But it sure looks cool.

[@DigitalJedi]

I'm always surprised by how quiet Pepe is when moving. I'm used to shufflers being a lot more clattery.

[@LukeQuin]

Pepe uses a pin and slot shuffler mechanism similar to that used on the beetle weight robot Silent Spring. It takes a bigger step forwards than it lifts up which helps to smooth out the motion. There's always two legs per side making contact with the floor when it's in the optimal orientation. The bike tire tread also helps to keep it quiet.

Although the weight bonus for shufflers was a big part of this bot, it just would not look the same with wheels. This is the most effective shuffler I have seen. Nice design Luke.

[@LukeQuin]

Aww thanks Russ!

Kudos to Eva for staying in the fight and lasting. Pepe is terrifying. Now I’m going to have nightmares of black shuffling death crabs.

[@theredstormer8078]

No clue how you're supposed to approach a bot like Silvia. It's such a strange shape and the shufflers are too durable to be considered a weak point or something to target, but for most bots they're the only thing they can target at all.

Considering how ridiculously hard Pepe hits, props to EVA for tanking that many hits. Great job to Pepe though! Always love your walkers, they're so entertaining to watch, if terrifying.

this is why i love smaller combat robotics leagues, the drivers and engineers aren't afraid to be goofy and have fun with it

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

more lack of control I'm thinking... Razor never went wonky

[@BOT_JERRY]

I tried looking this up. And got mostly sunny in Philadelphia

[@ApertureAndroid]

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia vs. Neon Genesis Evangelion

[@arostwocents]

Good fight from Eva. I would say they are winning at the 1min remaining mark

[@arostwocents]

Probably a win for Pepe following the closing minute but it was very close. Great control & aggression from EVA.

[@arostwocents]

You didnt include who won wtf. Why two angles but no results? 👎

[@ttaair]

Pepe ❤

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

EVA Seems kinda useless if all it can do is ram........ anything with a weapon is liable to beat it.....I think it was razor on robot wars that proved that.... that spide grapple thing whent through 1/4" inch steel plate... was obvious nothing would survive it..... and so they became the champions..... with a lame bot and the strongest weapon....
