To emphasize how good Gluten Free (Steven & Peter) was, they were literally a team of 2, while most teams had tens of members. They had a robot during the Skystone season, that quite literally had an almost perfect autonomous period, which was thought to be impossible. They are legends of the FTC robotics world.
they had some crazy robots, Im in FTC rn, and we are always looking at what gluten free did, absolutely amazing!
Wait they were in FTC? I’m in FTC and my team (5-6 people) made it to worlds (we won Ohio championship)
@SuprSpaceBoyGamz Steven and Peter created the FTC team Gluten Free, which is famous for their robot designs and autonomus
Battlebots is great, but my favorite is the smallest class NHRL fights. It is unbelievable how much destructive power they can cram in such a tiny robot.
One of the best parts of those lower weight competitions is teams seem to be more experimental at times down there and try things out.
It’s no coincidence that some of the successful modern heavyweights have basically been developed from there, notably HUGE and Sawblaze used smaller scale testbeds (The smaller scale ones being Huge and Megatron respectively.)
yeah I really like that yellow and black one with the waggle stick on the side
@Business Catpulling out the shameless self promotion for ramplan lol
The logic applied is diferent as well, for example fire is a real threat, or weapons being means of movement.
not sure people here are realizing just how insanely impressive this is
Earned my subscription.
With enough money, anything can be impressive. I’m more interest in the unprofessional and lack of resources builds that require the people to flex the mind to overcomes the challenge.
surely nasa with their 25 billions to launch 5 rocket to the moon is
compare to the 2billion from spacex so far for the starship(and they apready have 5 ship and booster build)
I certainly do. I’ve been studying robotics off and on ever since I first read Asimov’s robot stories, and have been dissatisfied with Robot Wars showing us remote controlled machines with zero autonomy. Even achieving partial effective autonomy is astonishing. Eventually it will get to the point where robots are wheeled into the arena, turned on remotely, and fight with no input at all other than a remote kill switch. I get the feeling that that point is a lot closer than anyone thinks right now.
I loved watching you and battle bots when I was younger, and I swear if I see an episode featuring Hacksmith!? I’d finally get to die in peace 😌
I loved battle bots lol they need new episodes on Netflix
Ikr I’m still waiting for new shit on Netflix for battle bots uwu
Same
Lol
FYI both Chomp and Switchback use AI in their bots, but only for aiming. This would be the first fully autonomous Battlebot though.
I beleive the latest 500 lb walker version of Chomp uses basically full autonomy, it simply can be overridden to walk it where they want.
Always dreamed of seeing Hacksmith take part in BattleBots, now the dream has come true, thank you for making my dream.
Having competed against both Steven and Peter in their robotics competition, it is amazing to see what they are doing now. 🙂
Great to see how much work and resources goes into creating one of these machines, looking forward to seeing it fight!
It’s nice to see easily one of the biggest YouTubers helping a new team.
So Obritron for me anyway and a few others has been described as a modern day counter revolution, ( if you familiar enough with the show.) twin vertical discs cancel out the gyro effect and you can drive normally with both weapons at maximum speed. The only thing is if there’s another robot who has a very long, and heavy weapon it could spell trouble very quickly, in their case Team robogym with their new under/overcutter spinner and flamethrower, Roundhouse.
I don’t think that is a good thing counter revaluation was on of the worst boys ever that wasn’t an art bot
As a competitor on the show, I can confirm just how much time and effort goes into one of these 250 bots, that I feel often gets overlooked by a lot of people, so I appreciate you showing the whole trial and error process of building a battlebot. This video also really took me back as well, from receiving your first parts, to driving it for the first time, there just isn’t a feeling like it. Best of luck on the competition, the bot looks fantastic!
