Major nostalgia trip. My dad competed in Battlebots 5 and I remember going to San Fransisco to watch the competition when I was 9 years old. We stayed in the RFL as Team Moon Robotics until I went off to college. I think we need to start up our robotics program again :)

In Battlebots 5 it was called Blackhawk, then revised the robot and called it Starhawk. We had three generations of Starhawk before we retired it. The original robot had a very complicated tri-star saw mechanism and an articulated arm, we got rid of that for Starhawk and ran with a fixed vertical interchangable saw blade, and Blackhawk was built mainly of mild steel, whereas Starhawk was primarily titanium with bits of AR-400 steel for armor.

Colin Richardson energy is proportional to weight * velocity squared... so if it can spin up faster due to lower weight, well... it can more than make up for a weight reduction. That said... he went from aluminium to titanium... so assuming the same volume of material this comment is highly redundant :P (titanium is about 2x the weight of ally).

tetsubo57 I'll think about it for you. A sheet of aircraft grade titanium large enough and thick enough for this application would cost roughly $3,500 retail. Wholesale could get it for probably $3000. It wouldnt surprise me if this competition did some wholesale purchasing for all the teams to save money. And if they had to pay to use the waterjet, shop time for a waterjet is usually $500-600/hour and something like this would take 2-3 hours. though again it wouldnt surprise me if the teams had access to a machine shop during the build phase.

I love Battlebots. I am so excited to see this competition return and it was great to see some of the old school drivers like Donald and Jim as well as a lot of new faces. Flames seem to be a bigger thing this time around than they were before and I suppose if they hit key electrical components with enough consistency and heat that they could melt them but how effective are flames really? Or perhaps it is more of an entertainment thing? I'm sure it's like sparks from titanium, not a lot of damage but a cool spectacle to watch. Guess we shall see.

Cosplay Armory The flames are mainly for the cameras but a few bots have ones that are focused and could actually do some serious damage against the right opponent. Also they weigh almost nothing so its a simple addition that can win them style points should it come to a decision.

I kinda hope Jamie & Adam get an invitation to either judge, compete or hand out prizes. There working relationship started with battling robots. Sure Jamie might have created a machine so deadly that people just straight up refused to fight his bot & his bot got banned. But it help make mythbusters what it is today. Plus it introduced grant imahara to Adam & tori @ ILM. Which is pretty cool. I loved the little mythbusters moments where you see them with their battle robots, t-shirts with pockets & coke bottle thick round lenses. They were the good old days. I think Grant sacrificed his bot for mythbusters and attached a robot cat on, & the hammer was used for all sorts of myths. Anyway it would be amazing to see them there, even if it was purely as a spectator. Although Jaime was working on battle spiders????? Battle bot prototypes? Hahaha

Plur307 What usually happens is you are arrive and you are 100% ready... then they tell you who you are fighting and you spend what time you have trying to optimise your machine for that opponent. Also, testing outside the arena can only take you so far. I remember an old battle bots competitor saying he would throw his bots out the back of a van at 50mph. Only when nothing broke would he be satisfied .

Eventorizon How do you get that number of 4? If you compare the E-modulus of both metals, (~70GPa and 105GPa) the titanium sure is more rigid, but not that much - plus for a wheel like that with attached blades, the basematerial shouldn't matter that much, or am I missing something?

I was going off the UTS and density. 7075 Has a UTS of around 540MPa, G5 Ti is 1000MPa. Given you have have 1.5x more Ti for your weight (50% more) and its almost twice as strong (getting on for double the UTS) You can round it up to 4... though technically that is 3.7x. Not perfect by any means but it gives you an idea. The E-Modulas is used when it is tension rather than its being cut, and given the bots tend to try and cut (or rip) their opponents apart, that's why I use the UTS.

You guys have to realize. This is the first one after almost 8years. All these teams only got 6months to prep for this. That's not enough time to write software. That's why these all seem simple. Next year's battle bots will be something g absolutely nuts.

3:14 how much more "weight" do those magnets give. Also more downward force slower robot. Do like the design feature where the center of the tread can be raised to increase turning speed.

Cliff Hartle Depending on the size and type of magnet, its very easy to imagine that they make the equivalent of 116kg each, with say 50 on the floor at one time - and they dont affect speed at all, since horizontal and vertical forces have no interaction with each other.

Awesome! I remember this show. This looks like a really impressive follow up! Are Grant, Adam or Jamie entering any competitors in this Battlebots series? They participated in the original version, so it would be cool to see one or more of them with a new robot!

I don't think they are really too busy to do something like this. If you follow this channel, this is exactly the kind of thing that they seem to really enjoy doing. It would be cool to see them compete. If they were concerned about being mobbed, they could just build the robot and have a "nobody" take it to the arena and drive it for them. The build process would be something that would make a great video for this channel.

USWaterRockets Well Jamie and Adam are very busy doing their with their tour that has now started to overseas including Australia. Also Adam in now very much into quadcopters so not sure how much extra time he has. From watching Tested videos I think Adam gets 2 hours of sleep a night. :)

Cliff Hartle Jamie just did a big multi part series on here for his Spider Racing Robots... that is pretty much the same type of thing. I bet they are not skipping the Battlebots for lack of desire or interest. It's possibly simply due to their contracts with Discovery prevent them from going on other networks.

too school for cool It's just a hydraulic crusher, not every machine that uses one is a ripoff of Razer. And it'll probably be more powerful, in the video they mention that they have 10 tonnes of crush, Razer only had 3 tonnes/square inch.

too school for cool They may use the same concept, but Chomp seems to be much higher/bulkier than Razer. Also, later on Razer had these "wings" on his arm to defend incoming attacks from the side.

***** Not sure I'd agree there, I battle robots myself (with a machine not too dissimilar in concept to Witch Doctor as it happens) and strategy is only a part of a potential win. You need a good reliable machine, and also a fair bit of luck too, naturally random failures do just happen and that's just that. All of the people competing this year are veterans to varying degrees, but all are very good at what they do and all of them most definitely have a strategy whether it's immediately obvious or not. And as for tiredness... most drivers are tired when fighting anyway, it's not uncommon to be finishing machines the night before haha!

too school for cool Ok, BattleBots & Co aired before my young self got interested in TV, so the only thing left to watch where the KZbin-Videos, and they didn't use it very often there. In fact, I only saw them taunting with them :p

Was that Donald Hutson? Wasn't he the one who made Diesector? That was one of my favorites from the old series! It's interesting to see a lot of the former competitors going back and making bots again! I can't watch it here in the Philippines, though.
