PBS Newshour posted:Isn't it more they bring three blades to a tournament, but have to replace all three at the end? Everyone brings spare parts and I imagine most teams have some idea what parts are most likely to need replacing and really stock up on those.

Yeah. I imagine that's where a huge chunk of the bot cost is--not just in development and fabrication, but getting extras of everything you can. I mean, if you were Bombshell and did well enough to do a wildcard slot, but still had all your internals extra-crispy with no way to fix it, you'd be pretty disappointed.

Xelkelvos posted:If I had the numbers, I could probably do the rough calculations on how much force the blade and all of the other bits receive on impact. It's probably a lot given the amount of force its dealing and I imagine the story about Tombstone's creators having to replace the blade every match isn't entirely untrue. Straight from the man himself, not accounting for frictional losses.  Chassis gets replaced every couple of tournaments, blades get replaced when the break or visibly crack.

GuavaMoment posted:I understand it might not look like it, but there's a lot of engineering to be done to make a robot like Tombstone. It's far from lazy and might actually be one of the more labor intensive robots out there. Even after a good match Tombstone does a lot of unnoticeable damage to it's own frame, requiring lots of repairs. I think it was Thursday - Sunday this year. I was there Friday night and got to see some really good fights (but mainly a lot super quick, violent knockouts).

I would have loved to have collected some tix and gone but I just assumed they were gonna roll tape up in Marin County or wherever they held it last year up in NoCal.

OAquinas posted:Yeah. I imagine that's where a huge chunk of the bot cost is--not just in development and fabrication, but getting extras of everything you can. We got pretty lucky there. I think in total we replaced about $30 in electronics and a few wheels after the match. It just happened to be that the things that did melt were rather necessary to the robot moving.

That is what you call a Battlebot Hernia I guess. Spins up, all it's guts on the floor in 5 seconds. Guess they should have spent more time on the bot than the costumes!

That was really fun. Lockjaw's driving was very impressive, especially considering how the wheels got damaged early on. I hope the loser of this gets a wild card.

Now that was a match! Yeti should have stopped trying to go for frontal attacks, obviously. If they went for side attacks rather than relatively ineffectually spinning their spinner into a concave area, they might have won easily.
