Apollo is stronger then firestorm

most powerful flipper is firestorm

From an outsider's POV, the box and systems seem less professional than in Battlebots. Sadly, it seems that the considerable costs are killing the sport. One way of making it cheaper would be to ban spinners, but that would make the demolitions less spectacular. Still some robots grappling and hammering is better than no robot fighting at all.

Robogames is like battlebots but in one of those weird dreams I haave where im in a franchise or event but everthing is off or old and unsafe

N95 filters (or pretty much any respirator) do nothing against smoke...only safe approach for lithium battery fires is an SCBA

As Robot Combat is becoming more popular in my region of the world, I'd love if the BBC did an Asia Adaptation of Robot Wars (with the same name obviously), and instead of bringing the main four from the UK Revival, they redesign and bring back the forgotten four instead, Sgt. Bash, Growler, Mr. Psycho, and Cassius Chrome.

This feels genuinely braindead. I saw a video once of a kid in a poorly designed small robot arena be wacked with shrapnel and apparent sustained a broken jaw. The arena being so poorly designed is one thing but the audacity to continue after blatant safety breaches just makes me cringe at the thought of the organizers clearly not caring.

So there's a bit of a story behind why they didn't stream. So over the past 3 years Pong over at the Synshop Twitch channel has building up is streaming set up for robot events. Hes been to quite a few events. He was approached to do the Robo Games stream for both Robot Combat Events finals and for the Heavy weights. I'm going to simplify it as best as I can. But there was some confusion about the rules of the venue. So Pong reached out to the Robo Games staff to get clarification. After getting the clarification Calkens found out about it, went off on Pong and Banned him from Robo Games.

I mean I was just thinking it was a bit of incompetent cowboy stuff but >no tip speed limit That's just absolute insanity.

Promoters may yet kill the golden goose. There needs to be a properly engineered arena. Proper, emergency, negative pressure, air evacuation of the combat area is essential for the safety of everyone. No one should approach or handle a burning bot without a full facemask, organic vapors respirator, insulated Kevlar gloves, a fireproof suit and steel toed shoes. I am surprised that local venues will allow this outfit to lease space for their events. The potential liabilities seem out of control. Wait until insurers get a better understanding of what is going on. That may fix or stop everything. Fans may want to consider if there is actually any liability umbrella covering them when they attend these events. That being said, I love watching robot combat at any level.

Hello again! I understand that my comment might have been removed, might I ask why if that's alright?

Attended Robogames 2024, I only heard about the breach after it happened and it was pretty shocking to me. I thought this type of stuff was taken care of and absolutely should not have been allowed to happen in the first place. But before we jump to conclusions please remember that Robogames is not like battlebots. They do not have a tenth of the budget that battlebots does and it would be very expensive to replace the box. I absolutely agree with everything you said, they need to update the box and safety standards of the event. It gives robot combat a bad look especially to the public eye. I just don't think they have the budget for it, I hope that Dave is looking into a new box, and I wouldn't mind if they took a year off to make an updated safer battlebox and updated safety standards. Personally I think its entirely a budgetary issue, I really wish that this gets taken care of, we all love Robogames and we don't want it to fall apart because of a lack of safety or if something worse happens. I hope that makes sense :) PS: Also their is a tip-speed limit. Its stated in the SPARC ruleset that we all follow, its 250mph for 250lb bots. Those on the robogames website are just the rules specifically for Robogames. Have a good day and thank you for listening to my ted talk. :)

Two half inch layers is absolutly nuts for 250s considering the frequency NHRL is breaching the first layer of their 3/8" lexan with just 3, 12 and 30 pound robots.

The pc game was decent

I wish it can get a reboot like Robot Wars and Battlebots did. But I doubt it'll happen. It wasn't as big as them.

great video dude. you remind me of Frauded

cool video dudebro

Uhh... no acknowledgement of its battlebots success?

Keep up the good work! We need more robot combat video essays

could the police or some safety agency start some sort of investigation?

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL CATBUG WINSSS!!!!!

Robogames lexan is ONLY 1/2 inch thick? 😳😳😲😲 Jesus christ the battlebox is 2 layers and I think both of those are 1.2 or so inches thick and the moment it's exposed to any fire it automatically gets replaced by Trey Roski and his team no exceptions. Robogames could do to learn a thing or two (or 20) from those guys.

Yeah bunny captain of the white rabbit/malice team said she was actually hit by debris in a fight but luckily she wasn't injured. These event organisers are playing with litigation fire.

Think how dreadful it would be for the sport should someone be injured or even killed. They need to make safe or pull the plug on the event.

Firestone was directly underneath it, apollo wasn't

This video is 100% true. Robogames needs to get there arena safety together and not use the same arena from the 2000's.

Ive competed at robogames with the other 250lb bots and met dave calkens, safe to say i dont think you could ever change his mind about the arena Hell the man was wearing a naval jacket with a swastika crossed out on his shoulder, there is no way he allows improvement

Unfortunately I doubt Robogames will ever get it together. They had multiple breaches the past few years and despite all the claims they had fixed things, people still got hurt at the latest one. I think it's best not to run any more events. At least not with that arena.

People took this too seriously 🤣

unless they get their shit together, robogames is going to be done for

Great video!

An answer to one of your questions: Jawbreaker did not open its Jaws against Ram Force in The Speedway because active weapons were not allowed to be used in that event.

cat bug is better he's a OG

xd

And big cat from the bravest warriors would solo the other bug cat that’s not even a bug cat

And big cat from the bravest warriors would solo the other bug cat that’s not even a bug cat

Who’s better and in a cartoon bug cat bravest Warriors

Who’s better and in a cartoon bug cat bravest Warriors

Congratulations I unsubbed for catbug

Oh god not this meme again 💀

this goes unreasonably hard

Bite Force's only loss, huh.

That is True Squidward’s God! Is nice

Just so you know, apollo has flipped a 1 ton robot

Catbug should have been 0-1000000000000000000000000 cat bug wins

Bugcat looks like catnug

Absolutely no comparison here. Different type of flipper Different angle etc. Bullsh*t video tbh.... 😂

Firestorm just better fr

First of all, Firestorm was entirely under Psycho, and Psycho was sideways so that the tracks couldn’t get traction, which allowed for a much easier flip. Apollo on the other hand, only had the very end of the flipper underneath Killalot, and Killalot was facing Apollo, which in turn makes it significantly more difficult to achieve a flip due to Killalot having much more traction. Also, Apollo is made mainly for launching, which explains the rear hinged flipper, and Firestorm’s front-hinged flipper I think was much more effective to topple other robots over. If Apollo had similar conditions to Firestorm, I believe Apollo could have pulled off the flip, even if it were rear-hinged just because of how strong Apollo’s flipper is.

This it’s-a cool.
