Video

Great event recap! Great to see Jumbo continuing to improve. Hopefully when I make it back to the west coast we get a rematch. Also just a heads up the builder of Volt Shot uses they/them pronouns!

What are the diameter of your wheels?

nice video!

6:36 SLAM CAM

big boi

I first saw Jumbo through the eyes of ICU, which looked like a found-footage horror movie! Anyways, great video, congratulations on an impressive run, and I’m looking forward to future Jumbo fights!

Hey, I recognize that bot in blue! Good video, and it was a lot of fun getting to fight!

Nice work, and some great use of tactics there.

Go Jumbo!

It looks like Dee from one of the battle of the stars in Robot Wars

Can you add another spinning blade on the other side?

What a nice video and bot!!!

What the.......🤨

Nice build! If any custom PCBs and metal 3D printed aparts may assisit? Would like to sponsor! (PCBWay zoey)

Interesting bot, and a good 5-2 record after two tournaments is fantastic!

Huh. I thought the huge-like UK heavyweight was Gabriel.

Awesome design! I look forward to seeing more from Jumbo!

I have a similar design for a fairy weight! I use paper clips for the legs and find it helps a lot to be able to change the angle the weapon spins at!

Jumbooooooo! Very fun design!

You should use banebots t40 aluminum hubs! I find them super easy to work with and they use a set screw like the ones you have. Used them on my plant and they held up to direct hits. They're fairly lightweight as well

I laughed out loud when both wheels came off simultaneously. A+ content

Builder of Barney here, the lifting of my weapon was not quite intentional, but it worked out. I had to take off the magnets after our previous fight because they were too strong.

Very cool bot! The bot gliding everywhere is probably due to the weapon getting slightly unbalanced and violently shaking the bot, either from bending so the center of mass isn't aligned on the axle anymore or just losing material on the tooth/counterweight. You can try and get a drone prop balancer (or similar function, basically a perfectly level axle in some bearings so the weapon automatically rotates the heaviest part to the bottom due to gravity) to re-balance the weapon by making tiny cuts/shave off bits so it vibrates less.

Jumbo looks great! 8:40 all great bot's designed like huge must get icewaved apparently lmao

What a cool design! how much does the weapon you used weigh?

Interesting design, I like it

Well deserved victory! Keep it up!

I've been having a hard time gluing the shell on Tombstone's weapon shaft and keeping it on while hitting something. The shell either pops off or the super glue jammed the weapon shaft. How did you get yours to stick on very well and spin up properly?

Consider grinding a channel in your drive axels for the set screw to sit? And yes, loctite.

DO NOT OVERDO THE LOCKTITE. IT WILL GET STUCK AND YOU WILL HAVE TO USE A TORCH. Ask me how I know. Once you locktite them they should be fine from then on. The locking from the junk left in the threads has worked for me now for like 4 comps. I had more problems with the weapon on my beetle shaking the motor mounting screws loose and I always have to remember to get those fully locked too. No matter how balanced you think everything is one hit and everything will shake loose. It happens but it sucks to lose from that

I'd buy one

Do you still have the AI packs, teams, arenas, components and robots for: Ironbot Jr., Plan B, RA2 Heavy Metal,and Megaman-RA2 Edition. And do you still have the components folder for all of the revolution 1-3 so I can get the robots to work?.

I don't think spikes are a good idea.

How do you get it the spin

The arena is waaaay to small for the spinning to be confortable

Oh man the classic rookie move forgetting to tighten your hubs all the way. Everyone has done it and I did it too.

New sub and a new fan, im rooting for Sting ray on his next fight!

Stingray is quickly becoming a favourite antweight of mine - very excited to see you continue to optimize the build, and im excited to see even more bot designs from you!

You know what stingray needs on its tail .. a horizontal spinner xD

I don't understand these... they ar e always advertised as the something of the biggest baddest killer robots...but to me, these appear so dumb...and a person comments actually.."it just drags and flails its weapon"- are there serious design limitations? IDK....meh....

Depending on your comfort level with it, it probably wouldn't take much work to turn Stingray into a thag style bot!

This explains what that strange tail print was for... Loctite is definitely a lesson to learn. But at least it didn't cause anything terrible to happen

Awww this is great to find I'm Mt Dew Camacho's Dad his radio was good he's just 6 years old with little hands😅😂 he had so much fun, your bot was super cool excited to see you get the bugs out

Have you ever considered going brushless for drive? if you could somehow make weight with them those spikes could probably do some damage

👋 I wasn't at this event but I am part of Team Idiocracy with Mt. Dew Camacho and Frito Pandejo - was fun to stumble across this video in the wild! (I'm not sure if he was having radio issues - he's still getting the hang of driving)

I ran Mr. Yuk the thagomizer-style bot at the event and liked seeing another long bot there. I would recommend playing around with N52 magnets to take advantage of your nice motors and the metal floors to see if you can boost your thwack a bit. Seems like your center-of-rotation was actually pretty good but magnets would there too. Your cantilevered wedge did a great job getting under bots because it was so far in front of the wheels, so hopefully the magnets wouldn't negate that strength.
