    I remember over 6 years ago asking hacksmith if they would ever consider doing or supporting a battle bots team (I was competing in 15lbs NRL at the time). James said they couldn’t because he understood how much of a financial challenge something like this is, even the little 15lbs bots cost multiple thousands of dollars. To see how far him and his team have come is actually incredible and I wish your team all the luck in the future James.

    Used to do FIRST Robotics Competition. Watching all this brings back some PTSD level memories of rebuilding a team's full robot between a Wednesday night and Saturday morning. Taught them a lot and learned a lot myself. I was troubleshooting the wiring in my head as you guys were. I was screaming check the battery connector! Such an easy point of failure but seeing that thing go whole hog in that arena was so satisfying. Simple robots work and this proves it.

    I can't even describe how excited i am to see orbitron on Championship VII with the likes of sawblaze, witch doctor, and all the legends of the sport.
    I am so happy everything worked out with the second set of fights.
    Ill be cheering for them every minute!!!!

  • @thediamondcreepergaming4469

    Its cool to just see the behind the scenes! It really shows that despite how many precautions the bots have, everything that can go wrong probably will go wrong. There are some things that just can't be prevented, but its amazing to see how you fix everything and figure out what needs to get done! It all shows the complexity of the bots more than the fights do. These are machines that took tens or hundreds of hours just to design, and they're so complicated that something is almost guaranteed to go wrong, but it also shows the preparation of the team, who was always prepared to fix whatever issue popped up.

    This was a great video and exciting matches. It was nice to see that even though you lost the first match you learned from it to get a win in the second match. Then you were able to take what you learned from it to further improve your bot for the 3rd match to score a spot on the show.

    Making the AI smarter and more autonomous would be a must. It would be so cool if it could actually predict things look at what It's best angle of attack is and plan. Making a neural network that sophisticated though would be very difficult and I don't think you all have the training data and you would need a more powerful computer. But making it smarter is definitely what should happen in some form or another.

      All modern battlebots are overcomplicated.
      All OLD battlebots are overcomplicated.
      There is no way to simplify brushless drive. All of the Orbitron controls and fancy stuff is done on their laptop, not in the bot.
      That's simply what you get when you have FOUR motor controllers in one bot with individual controls for each section, not to mention modularity and durability in the question.

    Awesome performance from everyone involved. And seeing behind the scenes- the sheer cost of everything, repairs included- made me want your opponent to stop when they were down. But they kept trying to get one more hit in, even while upside down- so more strikes were needed. And the little bot was dogged and determined but ultimately was sent flying away in tatters. Truly a tense match and I'm glad you got a winners pog!
