The Modest Expectations of Bad Daddy

[@dylanstanley9633]

What a brilliant video. Loved it. 1:1 😉

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you, Mr Chucky

[@ryanbratley6199]

This is the greatest build video of all time.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you!

[@sliders15]

Amazing video! I fight Antweights in the UK and know the pain of Chucky, having faced its 150g sibling Expanda-bot many times. You also hit on something i also strive for in my robots which is the balance of art vs functionality, something that was probably also instilled in me by watching Robotwars as a child. (And also that my robots will spend more time on my desk than they ever will an arena, so they may as well look cool doing it!)

[@luckyanimalrobotics3227]

The part where you make the weapon grate made me smile- still got the damaged one you gifted me after TupperScare's wheel got jammed in there at MITE in April 🤣 awesome video Tom!

[@JoshuaSolanes]

I clicked for the robot content and stayed entertained with the narration. Well done!

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

This entire video was the definition of art. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Bad Daddy in the future.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@msmith5080]

Genuinely had no idea this had 4wd, brilliant video!

Sneaky

[@TeamBotchef]

The production value was top notch in this one 👌

[@8bean11]

I was totally convinced you were going to demolish the judges diorama with the robot lol. Excellent video, love the Bobby fingers homage

[@TomcoDesigns]

Judges everywhere beware 👀

[@party667]

this is amazing, absolutely love this style of video making

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@Teamcarbideuk]

Love how subtle this came out, no shouty “look how great i am” bs. Congrats❤

[@JonasKaunKrafts]

a fork config could do a lot. You have a great bot!

[@frshagen]

I don’t build robots, but this video was sick. Robots or not, I’ll “fucking try”

[@ZanasoRymm]

Love the Bobby inspired video. So cool to see the build process presented this way. Keep it up Tom. Lovely work.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TeamJunkYardDog]

I enjoyed the production as much as your beautifully destructive bot. Well Done!

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you kindly!

[@FreyFox87]

I wholeheartedly approve of your music choices sir 👌

[@The_Seaborg]

Such a great video Tom! ^-^ I remember fighting you at M.I.T.E when you were trialing this design and you chucked Siren everywhere, defenitly one of my favourite fights, if you decide to go further with this i look forward to seeing what plans you have for the future of bad daddy. Your designs never fail to dissapoint regardless of if they are silly or serious. Keep up the great videos and robots ^-^

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@forthe_mark]

Glad to see you building, robot looks awesome!

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you Mark!

when you're making a build video right after watching the movie Whiplash

[@one-dan-band]

Wow... I've watched a bunch of robot combat, this might be the greatest video on this sport ive ever seen.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you, that is very kind. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@dropkickdojo]

The build and the video are equally satisfying! Nice 😎

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you!

[@Quacky-en7pq]

Great video! The style is very similar to a guy called Bobby Fingers

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you!! Bobby Fingers inspired me to make videos again. I love that guy

[@Quacky-en7pq]

[@TomcoDesigns]

@Quacky-en7pq robot boat 🚢 😅❤️

[@neonism-]

Actually a cinematic masterpiece.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@newmonengineering]

I have tried the heated inserts for 3d prints, but I find they fail easier that without them when done properly. Now I simple under size the hole a tiny bit, then increase the number of walls on the print. Once printed I simply tap threads into the hole. Everytime I have used this method it has been steonger than the heated insert. Alternatively if you can put the heat insert on the other side it will hold but easier than that you can get squarw nuts and put a small square pocket to slide the nut into. But the easiest is to design is the tapped hole version and as long as you have 6 walls its normally steonger than the heat insert from my testing. Awesome robot. You really took it the distance in the competition. Amazing work and congratulations I would say it paid offbeven if you lost the final match.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you! I've managed to remove every heatsert on the robot, apart from this one for the link!

[@l8dawn]

great vid, robot, and cinematography

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@Teampenny8]

This was really fun to see this bot fight in person

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you Anthony!

[@Teampenny8]

@TomcoDesigns I can't wait to see what you do next with bad dad it truly is one of my favourite beetleweights I hope one day I'm able to have a battle against it with my own bettleweight spinner 🙂

[@grahamthegoat9433]

Thank you Ellis!

[@JoeBrown1]

Amazing video Tom. Took an interesting turn around 18 mins in :p

[@TomcoDesigns]

Yea, sometimes you just need to let it out 🥲

[@mohossaini1]

Can't wait for this

[@TomcoDesigns]

I never truly left... well, I did really... but yes, back now

[@lucasskotiniotis1360]

incredible video

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you!

[@BrendanGeormer]

Not gonna lie, I have no idea how I found this random small channel that I am apparently subscribed to, to see this upload. I assume it wasn't 5 years ago that I saw a video, and there was something deleted? lol

[@TomcoDesigns]

Hello! Yes I took a short... 5 year break 😅 better late than never I guess

[@blockpartyrobotleague]

I love this video. Were you inspired by 3D Sagano's production style, by any chance?

[@TomcoDesigns]

They were not, but i just took a look at their channel, they are shot very beautifully. I will take that as the highest compliment 😄

[@one-dan-band]

How did you get the tensioning right for the weapon pulley? Flat belts always seemed weird to work with.

[@TomcoDesigns]

Turned down the pulley until it worked right with a new belt

[@Razer_-fe9mo]

This is excellent ASMR

[@TomcoDesigns]

Thank you ❤️

[@frenchfatcat]
