Phantom III vs Anubis - Bot Brawl Anime North 2024
A sad end to my run in Toronto. After a quick turnaround from the SSP fight, I missed that one of my drive motors was dead on arrival until I was in the box. I decided to just get the match over with instead of asking to use my postponement to fix it, which I probably should've tried but ehh, live and learn. Then my power switch turned itself off after the first few hits and the robot went dead. The screw was sort of stripping at this point so I must've failed to tighten it fully. Replaced the drive motor after and the bot ran fine, I'll probably get a new switch and then toss it in the next event I feel like.
Winner: Anubis by KO

Phantom III vs Shameless Self Promotion - Bot Brawl Anime North 2024
Переглядів 12114 днів тому
This was a very close one! Ended up losing a split JD. The idea was to use my ground game advantage to deprive him of control points as much as possible, and I think I did a pretty good job of pushing him around for a lot of the fight, as well as using my weapon throughout the fight to show its effectiveness. Judges don't always register when a weapon is turned off strategically, though, and ho...

Переглядів 14314 днів тому
Testing a new wedge concept here, but Ipseity's blade actually slipped entirely under my wedge. Thankfully, the full length bar had enough reach to touch his belt guard, and eventually his belt, before he could reach my wheels. THIS is how Phantom is supposed to work against other horizontals. Now I just need to get my wedge a bit lower so I can scoop those annoyingly flat Vectors up into my we...

New experimental bar design in this fight. Worked well at the start and took the weapon on weapon hits like a champ. Needs some refinement to keep the layers from twisting apart under my own horizontal loading. New self righting hat also came in clutch here. Burned out my poor weapon motor as well, but this was its 19th fight so it was my longest-lasting weapon motor ever on any Phantom. Winner...

An explosive finale to Phantom III's run at MassD in Round 1 of the bracket, against the top seed and eventual champ, Turbo. He bent my frame, destroying the interface with the top plate and letting the switch hang out the back, which I then cut out with my own blade at the end. Oh yeah, he bent my 1/4" AR600 Key blade as well :( After 18 fights, Phantom III finally retired its first billet, an...

Mako is an awesome saw bot that gave me a chance to finally test out my top-defense config. This setup worked ok against Wicked Wedge, but this was a good test of the defense. The side forks created a couple side-table positions though, that's not good. I think the battery ran out at the end from grinding on the floor so much. Everything still worked after.

Phantom III vs Wicked Wedge - 3lb Grudge Fight

I test out my new disk feeder forks configuration against Wicked Wedge after a long day of robotting at Norwalk Havoc. Big thanks to Remy for a great match! I had a drive motor go down at the end due to a disconnected wire. I think my battery was also starting to get low which slowed down the other side. The underside of the billet was HOT at the end of the match! #beetleweight #robots #nhrl

get those kids some ear plugs!
This is my favorite fight to date with Turbo! (now Comet)
Fountain Sport vs New Phoenix
Definitely was a close fight, watching it back the control as a lot more split than I thought at the time. The JD scoring at Bot Brawl is 8 points for damage, 6 for aggression and 5 for control I believe. This makes it hard to come back from a damage deficit as a control bot, especially a 7-1 split as was likely the case here. I think aggression may have worked in my favor as when your blade was not spinning I was seen as being more aggressive.
cool bot! hello from brazil!
Hii! 👋 Gotta make it down to Brazil someday!
the key blade BENT!? ...wat!?
which weight category is it
3lb beetleweights!
Very fun fight! That's one scary horizontal
Glad to see Phantom III is still fighting!
Turbo was tough!
Holy cow what a fight
Considering it’s one of my favorite bots, it really was an honor getting to fight the predecessor to Phantom ll (even if it wasn’t exactly in the way that I wanted). Hoping to have a rematch someday!
Any time, any place! (where there's an arena lol). I could toss Phantom in for a freestyle fight if you ever want!
Rough break....
Considering the original Phantom was christened at the debut event for The Krave Monster, how does it feel to be fighting one of its clones after all these years?
Would've felt cooler if I had my weapon haha
All credit to the driver of Pizzabot! keeping you off their wheels for so long was extremely impressive!
I expect all my Papa Johns to be delivered by Phantom III from now on
Dinner was served!
Every time he hit you the countdown should of started over.
Not even I'm mad enough to try that!
Maverick: "because I was inverted."
That's why you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
The horizontal won for sure!
Short and sweet!
i loved it
nice
For even more bigger hits make one contact point you could, to not make it unbalanced add weight from inside the shell
Thats defenatly the weapon motor, not good
Apex be like
Very cool! Probably a dumb question, but, why do you use a belt drive instead of a direct drive?
How much does a beauty such as this cost to build? I love full body spinners!
beautiful spinner design
If you don’t mind me asking where did you get the belt for the weapon
Is your motor basically running your shell 1:1 belt wise or is there a gear ratio difference?
Somebody help, why does the flat one spark?
The sparks are hot pieces of metal it's removing from the other robot.
What a great fight, the back and forth was great practice!
Awesome Fight!
wicked damage from Phantom as always!
Great fight! Two of my favorite beetles
Hey! Love the video, especially those hoops. I'm looking to make a ant weight that use a hoop (or maybe more of a truncated cone) as armor that is connected to bearings kind of like a unpowered spinner bot. Any tips on what thickness to use? I figure I'll just overlap the ends together and use an insanely strong tape to connect them. Also, do you happen to know any other teams that have used this material like this? Would love to observe more designs with it.
Come to think of it, Bots'n'Stuff would be a great name for a hobby store or something. Edit: the protective disc is only 1/2 inch thicc? Damn I would have thought that it was 1 inch at least!! 😅😅😅
Awesome video, and great production value!
What is the diameter of your shoulder bolt?
We go with a 1/2" shoulder bolt for added strength, because we have a big long bar and the shaft is only supported underneath.
@@BlackLightningRobotics Yeah that's pretty meaty. Have you experienced any sort of bending of the shaft when using a smaller diameter?
Full body spinners are harder to kill but they usually die due to breakdowns or heavy impact to the inside from impacts
Excellent.
You have some mighty fine turntables for displaying your fairies...
I completely approve of this.
Chester Munx
He died valiantly
@@BlackLightningRobotics Lol, for sure. It was fun. The actual Chester Munx probably wouldn't have had it's wheels sniped off as easily though. :p
@@teambadengineeringchoices1368 Wait, what was the bot supposed to be?
@@nikolausbuchholz2397 A shell spinner.
@@teambadengineeringchoices1368 2Spooky needs an answer for shells after what happened with BitCoin. The options I see are either making 3Spooky with 6mm gearmotors, or slapping a feeder wedge on 2Spooky. I'm pretty lazy so probably the latter...
Spooky Scary Skeletons
I am very early :o
I love that this gimmick comes up at the perfect time of the year, Nik!
What is the diameter and length of the weapon dead axle? It looks strong. Suggestions for bolt diameter? Thicker add overall weight, but sacrifices strength.
We go with a 1/2" shoulder bolt for added strength, because we have a big long bar and the shaft is only supported underneath. The shoulder 2" long, half in the robot and half sticking up on top. The threads are 3/8" diameter and stick up another 5/8".
@@BlackLightningRobotics Thanks..I added the 1/2" bolt diameter to my Undercutter in October
