[@curtisbarker5657]

The drones with Geodesic wire frame soccer balls over them were Awesome! You need to cover a drone with those plastic array's of spikes that keep birds from landing on architectural surfaces as prop foulers for your opposition or fishing hooks on plastic array's LoL

[@fritzwalmrath4057]

Best way to get rid of birds is using guns, basically what i want to say is USE GUNS

[@turtlesthatfly5695]

They are called Sweeper Droneballs. They are made by Graupner and I don’t think the team that used them modified them at all.

[@rb032682]

@Curtis - That's a great idea. I see those spike arrays all around Los Angeles. I had always assumed they are metal. So, I just looked on Amazon and they have pages of different kinds of bird repellant spikes, diff. sizes, shapes. Steel, stainless steel, plastic.....wow. Which would be the best prop fouler material?

[@curtisbarker5657]

If only one drone in this battle was strong enough to carry a padlock around on a rope and swing it around like a mace

[@HobkinBoi]

Too bad battery life would be garbage. Sometimes you need a drone with the stamina to outlast your opponent.

[@QuantumFluxable]

​@@HobkinBoi why not use an additional batterypack instead of the padlock? make it so the drone uses the battery power from the mace first and automatically switches to it's actual batteries once that is empty or gets destroyed. Would also make for some fun fireworks if it gets cut into by a drone rotor^^ Anyways, seems you played Hammerfight. I liked that game too :D

Build an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) weapon into your drone next year !!! I'm looking forward to the next battle, more prep time and team "Murica" will kick serious ass!!

[@calvinf9218]

I agree with this man, emp would shred everyone's drones

[@Lysergic_]

might be against the rules from the risk of frying the spectators phones lol

[@evanwickstrom5698]

The only effective EMP systems I know of are explosively pumped flux compression generators, which, y’know, require explosives, so that’s gonna break a bunch of rules and probably laws. Plus, the strength of a magnetic field falls off exponentially with distance, so if the weapon was mounted to your drone, you would be subjecting yourself to hundreds if not thousands of times the energy you would be subjecting the other team to. So, as much as the idea is awesome, such a weapon probably wouldn’t be feasible, and could actually be illegal in the country the event is held in.

[@leatherbag5418]

EMP is a good idea, however, it would interfere with connection of everyone's drones (which includes your team and queen) but also your own. Even if the emp is directed away from your drone, it would still interfere with the connections between your controller, vehicle and cameras. Maybe if you could have your drone switch to autopilot before it engages EMP so it could safely hover without the pilot, but that would make it vulnerable and would require a dire situation where your best chance is to believe that every enemy drone will be disabled for sure. It would also require a lot of energy, and also the vast amount of equipment and space needed for an omnidirectional EMP that is far away enough from your electronics to not effect them would be too cumbersome, and would make the drone akward to fly and inefficient.

[@Xenon_Proto]

I thought the same thing but it might be against the rules, considering electronics like pacemakers

Not sure you quite understand fishing hooks, they'll catch on any soft target. Really, a brilliant innovation, its a noble loss, they were very clever. Vac formed plastic will be the answer. Common for rc body shells. Next year will be interesting.

[@jibbajabba4597]

[@warrenfarrand5430]

i had a crazy idea: its a drone with a fish hook and winch. the winch will be on one side with a weight for balance. the special part is it will have metal blocks along the sides of the prop ducts, on the back of the prop duct there will be small rockets. The drone will reel in a drone and beat it up by spinning to a fast speed and bashing it with metal bars. Im not sure if that is within the rules but it seems like it could work.

That was the most uncomfortable ad I've ever seen

[@killergames391]

Two ideas for defense against the hooks, 1 very hard and thin case around a foam body for an impenetrable shield with a soft core to allow movement, con is greatly increased weight. 2 is just a hollow harden plastic body for light weight, obviously very brittle. An offensive idea to fight the hooks is have them them hook you and then use very powerful rotors to spin the enemy drone off balance and tear the hooks out. Not sure if it would be allowed but a thin aluminum frame (

[@christiantingzon5990]

You really are getting better at this

[@minnesotangaming8966]

So I think next time you should place light sheet metal around the sides so hooks cannot grab onto it

[@jakegarrett8109]

carbon fiber for sure (CF is 50 to 100x stronger than steal per weight when used correctly). You only need the paper thin carbon fiber for this. Ironically, the thinner the carbon, the more it seems to cost, lol! Also flat strips of carbon are ridiculously easy to make, just use a piece of glass for your table (so its super flat, and super easy to clean the epoxy with alcohol), then you can use sheet metal (or carbon) for some little 90 degree brackets to attach the sides (if you want it modular to play with the sides). The reason I'd avoid the weight is just due to how he lost basically due to battery running out.

[@minnesotangaming8966]

Jake Garrett or even carbon plate it by sending it through positive and negative electricity if that works with carbon fiber

[@jakegarrett8109]

@@minnesotangaming8966 Carbon fiber only works with tensile strength in the direction of the fiber weave (I see a lot of Chinese knock off quadcopter frames get this wrong, they end up like a noodle in the air...). The only strength they have out of the fiber alignment is just from the epoxy (so not much...), and that's why I mentioned "when used correctly" (because I see a LOT of fails in this). I don't think you can plate the fibers without a bonding medium like epoxy (its basically fiberglass, and you actually use fiberglass resin, the only difference is, its a lot stronger than SOME fiberglass types, looks cooler, and costs way more). It is electrically conductive, so technically, you might be able to fuse it to metal with like 1 million volts, but at that point you're just welding it, and its probably just going to fall off and not do anything. Carbon steal is iron with very small doses of carbon infused in it, and I don't think you can just brute force bond the massive amount of pure carbon to a metal to make a weird metal-alloy-carbon composite. You can still epoxy it to almost anything though, like the foam (the epoxy is basically a glue, however, it needs to be vacuum bagged so it compresses the carbon onto the object). Since electroplating only works on conductive things, I assume you're talking about electroplating it to sheetmetal or something like that (if its foam or cardboard, then those can't be electroplated). Also a cool thing about electroplating technology, John Deere (the tractor and agriculture machinery) currently electroplates their paint, which should make it last a ridiculously long time (that said, I've seen 60 year old tractors still have most of the paint, but this should make it last longer). They also give free tours if you have one nearby, those are kind of neat to see.
