hotsurkit Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 What ideas do you have? If money weren’t an issue (and if engineering limitations weren’t either, for that matter), describe how you would design and create the ultimate war machine to enter into the show’s competition.
Lord Fergie Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I would put these metal things together and presto a bot eating machine
Sherack Nhar Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I would make the 'show-cancelling' bot Seriously, I don't even know what show you're talking about!
swphreak Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 uhh. that show called "Battle Bots" from Comedy Central, or CC used to show them, haven't seen one in a loong time. Mine would hover and have het engines (really, small ones ) on each side to move in all directions. Thoes jets would be protected by heavy duty reinforce.. something so when I ram a bot it doesn't damage the jet. It would have some sort of laser weapon somewhere to melt the enemy bot. And maybe some buzz saws. As you can probably tell, I've given this some thought ^_^
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Battle Bots??? Is it called Robot Wars in the UK?
Young David Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 It all started with Robot Wars on the bbc ... that's one cool show (Yes, we have BBC in the Netherlands). I would have it wedge-shaped with a giant 'laser' on top of it.
Artoo Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Lots of fast moving blunt objects. Anyone see the heavyweight champion of season 4 on BB? I can't remember it's name but it was made by some dairy farmers. It kicked arse. Something like Son of Whyachi or something. Anyway, It spun these meat hooks around at about 70 m.p.h. and they literally ripped apart any bot that tried to get close to it. Very cool to watch, almost as cool as Toro. Toro had an air-powered lifting arm that could put out so much PSI it could literally flip a bot 10 feet into the air. Let me see if I can dig up some pics. Toro Son of Whyachi
Boba Rhett Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 My older brother loves the show and wants to build one. I'd make one with some sort of electrical shock tails that would drag on the ground. I'd also give it a mercury switch and wheels that stuck out on both the top and bottom so if it got flipped the switch would flip the controls and you could keep fighting.
Lord Fergie Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Robot Wars stank Battle Bots that was quality but I hardly ever watch it (like never now)
Lord Glorfindel Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I would put a humongous LASER on the top of mine. lol I would put a bazooka on mine, and for close combat, I would use five Chainsaws.

It got me thinking about building bots but due to the cost, I had to stay in the virtual world. Cheaper and easier. Do you guys have any favorite bot desing games?
hotsurkit Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 Hey guys, welcome to the weekend. Question. You guys heard of something called CAD or a little more mainstream Robot Arena? http://www.robotarena.com/ I wanted to pick this up this weekend but then saw a snipet in the paper about another game called CAD. Anyone tried these?
