Bee Doo vs Mr Meaty vs Nebuchadnezzar - SWORD FALL 2021
This footage was provided by the wonderful SWORD club at the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, PA, where this competition was held. All footage was recorded on November 6th, 2021 during the semi-annual SWORD combat robotics competition. The robots competing here were either 1lb Antweights or 3lb Beetleweights. All Beetleweight fights were 3 minutes in length but Antweight fights were 2 minutes in length.
Antweights were a double elimination bracket- lose twice and you're out. Beetleweights are hard to explain. Each robot got to fight in three 3-way battles, and based on their performance, the top 12 robots were seeded into a single-elimination final for the event winner title.

The RDY MINI 5022 is the latest and greatest in weapon motor technology for small combat robots. Allowing you to slap any blade into a small bot with no effort, and spin it at over 20,000RPM, this is a durable enough motor to take huge hits (and dish them right back!)

Today I’ll be covering how I modified a very affordable 3D printer into a carbon fiber nylon printing machine, without breaking the bank! You do not need to spend $1000+ on a printer in order to print with these exotic materials - in fact you can do just fine for well under $400 in total. While I am not confident enough with this process to make a tutorial on all the changes you need to make, there are plenty of dedicated 3D printing channels who helped me and can help you too if this is the road you choose to go down. I've left a link to a spreadsheet below including all the upgrades I made and the printer itself I used as a starter platform.
This was basically a two-week project I undertook in order to expand my manufacturing capabilities into all the fancy materials that are used in the most competitive antweight, beetle weight, and larger bots. I would definitely never recommend someone who just got their first 3D printer go through this extensive modification process, but if you have a 3D printer, know the ins and outs, and want to do more with it, I can say you probably won't be disappointed if you choose to upgrade.

Today's video is all about competing with at Battlebots, during the filming of the 2020 Season 5 tournament. With all the crazy stuff going on this year it was lucky we got a chance to compete at all, as Battlebots pushed the tournament back several times and seemed on the verge of cancellation until it was finally confirmed. All together, around 60 teams from all over the country, and even a few international teams were able to attend and compete to be crowned the world champion.
That said, I'm sure many fans of the show are wondering what exactly it was like to compete during a global pandemic, and how was such a large film production put together? Well, watch and find out!
This was an amazing experience and a ton of fun, stress and excitement, and a huge amount of hard work for everybody on the team. I really hope to do it again next year. We want Season 6!

Division went on a tear at the April 2022 Norwalk Havoc Event. Take a look at the last 4 fights at the competition and how Division's run ended against the eventual tournament winner Lynx!
Division is a 3lb Combat Robot featuring a gigantic vertical spinner capable of delivering hits with the energy of a handgun bullet. For more info on the robot check out my Overview video: https://youtu.be/KC8khRVT2-4

Today you’ll finally get to see my event recap from Norwalk Havoc on February 6th 2021. I put a lot of work into my 3-pound robot Division between this event and the last one - check the links in the description for more about that. If you haven’t seen one of my event recaps before, I also encourage you to watch my last recap from November 2020 where I explain more about Norwalk Havoc Robot League and its unique setup and rules. This time around, NHRL has expanded into a new facility and build an arena suitable for full combat 30-pound featherweight combat, so at this competition, 3lb, 12lb, 12lb sportsman, and 30lb bots were all run. I got to fight with all of my robots: Division as a 3lb Beetleweight, Mini Mulcher as a 1lb antweight minibot. I also fought with Draconid as a 12-pound sportsman, which will be in an upcoming video.

This is a quick little tutorial for the several people who requested it showing how to use a standard Arduino as a BlHeli USB programmer. It takes all of 2 minutes once you know what to do, it's super easy and won't blow anything up if you get it wrong. Try it!
BlHeli ESCs work with almost any small to midsize brushless motor for RC drones, planes, quads, multicopters, cars, boats, etc. Any 3 phase brushless motor that is sized correctly for your ESC with the right settings should work.

This video is an overview of CNC machining and some discussion on the subject, including footage taken from a GoPro stuck onto a Tormach PCNC 1100 machine I used for making most of the parts of my 12lb Hobbyweight undercutter robot, Draconid. I talk about how I got started in CNC, and how others can too, as well as discussing a few of the idiosyncrasies involved in designing parts to be CNC machined.
Do you enjoy turning CAD into parts? Need to make robust and complex designs from metals, especially with threaded features? Interested in paying $10 in stock per part instead of $100? Maybe CNC is for you!
