Congrats on 1k and I look forward to seeing the fights!

As someone who has built a gyro walker: they are tons of fun! However, it was so difficult to maintain that I gave up after its first real competition.

Congrats on 1k!🥳

This bot inspired me to build a plant gyro walker, and let me tell you your right the blades look wonderful on your bot. Hope my goes as well as yours. So bird strike does bot use any bushes and just gyros on its belly?

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Thank you. And good luck on your build.
Also no, Bird Strike doesn’t use any brushes.

I cannot tell you how excited I was to see this video pop up! Just curious, but what brand of PLA+ do you use?

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Thank you! Also I use OVERTURE PLA +

[@salgarellius7434]

Would you accept the challenge of making a robot that shoots projectiles as a weapon? Do you think it is possible to build something like that? Ty

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Great question. I am aware that NHRL does allow projectiles (as long as they don’t move faster than 150 MPH).
I’m not entirely sure when I’d do it but I’d be interested in attempting to make a projectile bot in the future.
