Thanks! I feel the suspense while I'm driving it too lol I've watched all your vids! I really like the info on the Radix weapon setup

@@jyggalag169 yes Watch my upcoming video 😋

We actually had a full rundown recorded for an old tournament with Dima and I both talking, but the audio was all messed up. She is less robot obsessed than I am, so she uses her time elsewhere lol I will, at the very least, upload the footage from the tournament we just did this past weekend

I appreciate that a lot

It's a bit of a mess. The NHRL ruleset (and some other tournaments) give you a weight bonus if you field a multi-bot. For example, your entry could weigh a total of 4 lbs if you had two robots fighting together in the 3lb division. Most tournaments require those robots to be nearly the same weight - IE: two 2lb robots fighting together. NHRL does not. For example, someone could fight with a 3.5 lb robot and a .5 lb robot together. I stay with a 3lb robot with a 1lb mini-bot that can help in favorable matchups, so I can continue to run Mako at tournaments without the unique rules. It's weird and complicated lol NHRL is hopefully changing this for next season -- the builders do not generally like it

@@Julipapa The little robots do seem fun. Like it's more exciting having more robots in the ring, but also it seems like based on the rules, there's no reason not to take advantage of the rule and always have a little partner. I imagine it's great if you have a younger sibling so they can control a bot too, lol. But I guess from a "competitive meta" standpoint, it's a little weird...

@@deanyockey5939 in theory, you can lose a judges decision if the minibots gets thrashed But the positives of running one almost always outweigh the negatives It is definitely fun - and being a minibot driver got my sister into the sport But it can make for slower fights, more money spent, a higher barrier to being competitive, etc. The growing sentiment is that builders want it to go away.

@@Julipapa Appreciate the very thorough explanation! Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future! And always rooting for Mako! :)

@@paydaygh9388 I've seen that video!!! Thank you! I know there's a whole theory behind bristle bots, but I was on a time crunch. I'll have to do some research before the next iteration.

@@lizrrdbreathI guess it would come down* to geometry and how much stiffness you get vs how much force is trying to bend things As you can probably tell, I'm no expert 😅

You're right I tried quickly experimenting with some 3d printed bristles a few days before the tournament. But no matter what, it still wanted to go backwards

Yup!

Thanks 🤣 Your robots have some great names!

Hopefully I can give him another run in October Ants are so much fun

Thanks so much. My next goal for Mako qualifying. If I can do that I will literally cry

Also, serious respect for addressing the NHRL Short about Mako’s fight with CSK- ur seriously an awesome fighter and pilot💛💛💛

Thank you! You're an awesome fighter and pilot too!💛💚💛 Obviously Kezia doesn't need me to defend them, so I'm glad it didn't come off the wrong way. People are punks...

Thank you! If a bot like Mako had me in a pin I'd probably tap too 😱

Yup! I had a clip where I was talking about that, but the video was getting too long. I will have a wedge config for GSCRL season champs!

@@Julipapasmart move,especially w monkfish in the cards,monkfish is no joke

@@chriscapps206 oh, I know it I'll have a super secret anti-monkfish config if I have the time

🦈Thank you🦈

Was it easy making mako?

No way, buddy. It's taken a lot of time and effort. But It's all a learning process. The next bot will be easier

That’s cool

Thanks! Norwalk Connecticut

@@Julipapa ok nice

Thanks boss! We follow you on UA-cam. Keep up the good work 💪

@@Julipapa Wow Thanks!

Mako was fiiiiine ᴹᵃᵏᵒ ʷᵃˢ ⁿᵒᵗ ᶠᶦⁿᵉ

Go watch some of the other fights if you haven't! It's a very fun bot type IMO

On the contrary it’s a lot of fun to watch given how much kinetic energy the blades have.

Haha I can't rename Mako! 🦈

Yeah. They showed me the bot and gave me half of their top plate, ehich was indeed cut all the way in half I'll post the other pics I have of the damage when I make the full tournament video. Very cool guys. Very cool bot. I'm sure they'll be back for revenge soon

They absolutely tore through our robot. It was absolute carnage once we opened the thing up. They had cut all the way into the bottom plate, split the top plate in half, chopped our battery... it was SICK!!!

@@Julipapa We'll absolutely come back with a more drivable Send IT!!! Though.. y'all instilled a big fear of saw bots in our heads...

I look forward to seeing you kick butt next time! (Hopefully not Mako's)

Thank you. Corey is a hero of ours. It means so dang much for Dima / TurboFIEND to steal a win off of him I'm sure he is already planning on how he'll whoop us in the rematch 😰

Thanks brother! People were joking about how Mako was the one who was supposed to do that lol

@@Julipapa yeah i would expect mako to do that but not turbofiend

Thank you. He's the mascot

That's an interesting idea about the reverse forks, but the saw weapon is very vulnerable to attacks, or even just getting wrecked by taking force in the wrong direction, so I usually try to keep it out of danger until it's time to attack Maybe for a future hammer-saw with a wider / more durable weapon, but that would be more of a smasher and less of a cutter.

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions?

@@Julipapa depends on your desired KV
