Disinformation after the fire - How bad can it smell?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2024
- Disinformation had a rough end at the recent RoboGames event, with a huge fire. As anyone can tell you at events, a robot fire where you lose both electronics and batteries is pretty catastrophic, and just downright smelly! Disinformation has been locked away in an airtight case for a month - so how bad can it be? Let's unbox it and find out!

You should consider renaming this thing Rasputin, cause it doesn't die.
You'll never know the amount of hours and hours of pure joy that i had watching your bots fight since more than a decade
I'm glad that you have enjoyed it all! Obviously we have a good time with it, but it's great to hear that the fans are enjoying it too.
@@ray9368 thanks for the answer!!! It's been so many years watching your fights that i almost feel like tombstone is my friend! Keep the amazing work!!!
@@georgoroth Tombstone is my friend and I've only been following since 2015! XD
The repair kit for disinformation:
1) duct tape
2) wd 40 for the chain
3) frebreeze
that little giggle @ 2:00, I feel yah. Marinating in a pelican for a month? She staaaaanky.
Oh yeah, it was ripe ;)
Was that guy at robo games running with the burning boy bare-handed? That's crazy. Anyways, that's amazing that this still works
Yeah, I was wondering about that Robo games seems to be very lax on safety with last year‘s fork accident breaching the arena and with their disregard for breathing protection and fire protection. I think that it is only a matter of time before they have a serious accident where someone gets hurt and it is going to not only make them look bad but all of the other robotics competitions And competitors resulting in more regulation and could cause more skepticism from major sponsors and supporters, which is absolutely not what the sport needs right now.
At my last event, I was the first one to open the battlebox and I was hit with an undescribable stench that made me stumble backwards
a testament to how great an engineer you are ! awesome !
god I remember opening the ziploc where I keep all my dead escs and it just REEKING, I can't imagine how a full LiPo runaway would smell D:
After you mentioned that the case was sealed, my thought was great, it kept the smell out of the shop. That means all of the smell is still in the case. I was surprised you didn’t take it outside to open the case.
Probably would have been a good idea. With the doors open it aired out fairly quickly though
That's good.
That's a robot which could win against a flamethrower.
Alternate name "this is fine"
Should change Disinformation's name to Timex, and use their tag line.
0:48 oh look theres martin mason
Disinformation never dies!
Must be getting it from tombstone...
I appreciate the shirt you're wearing !
That shirt, along with all of our team merchandise, is available on the web store!

@@ray9368 Awesome, I might being updating my wardrobe real soon. Thanks!
When i see lackadaisical their health and safety practices are it's a wonder or even nothing short of a miracle that nobody had been seriously injured or worse. That event needs to seriously get it's sh*t together or everyone should just boycott it altogether.
Robot on fire, arena wrangler puts on respirator before opening the arena, knocks it down and cools it off with the fire extinguisher, and gets it immediately outside where it can be handled without risk to the people inside. I'm not sure what you think should have been done differently here.
@@ray9368 well, you know better than most what happens if that stuff gets breathed in by someone. Battlebots and NHRL as you know have a specialised exhaust system to funnel the fumes outside the building where they are not a threat to anyone.
Plus Robogames have a track record that's very poor on many other points like physical durability of the arena & making adequate repairs. Case in point: last year they showed footage on one of the Whyachi streams where a bot had a battery fire (can't recall exactly who) and one of the event officials just literally walked into the box with totally insufficient breathing protection. Then this year, your close friend Bunny got struck by some arena debris which in any case is totally unacceptable. Many in the community have expressed great concern about how that event is being run and the people in question sadly don't seem to care.
Nobody should cut corners when it comes to combat robotics, period.
If these people can't hold themselves to the standards the rest of the community expect when there's literally life and limb on the line and you're dealing with purpose built killing machines then they should not be allowed to partake.
@@ray9368 The smaller weight class event was run well!
I too have gotten squshed by PEPE at NHRL. That thing is insanity.
Magic smoke? More like magic FOG. 😂
Battery box needs vent holes to protect rest of bot.
Tis but a flesh wound.
Was this just as smelly and wretched as the ones Tombstone has had?
Hey Ray, I heard you have trouble with programming castle electronics and I would highly recommend you to buy a castle link : ). They helped me tremendously with programming the esc and motor.
I have the castle link so access to programming isn't really the issue. I just want it to do things other than how it is designed :) I still think they are a high quality setup, for lots of different uses, and I will continue to use them for many of my robots. Including Disinformation here - worked fantastic for the weapon in this.
I hope the fire didn't ruin the chain's temper either. I'm not sure a chain failure would be fun to deal with.
Eh, chain is fairly cheap so I pretty much always put on new for every event. I would never use it again unless I had no choice
@@ray9368 Perfect!
What killed the batteries? Shock/vibration? Overcurrent? It doesn't look like the battery box was compromised.
We had overheated this pack in a previous fight, and it was kind of puffy. It was however the only pack I had at the time so we went with it. I wasn't surprised we had an issue, just surprised at how quickly and how violently it died. It was a good fire!
stinky boi
I should rename it that whenever I rebuild ;)
What happened to your 30lb horizontal?
The last horizontal I had as a 30 was Suitcase Nuke. This bot eventually ended up in the hands of my buddy Mike who rebuilt is as "B.A." which last competed at Robot Ruckus last year. It won that event too :)
Man, you really do just have the worst luck sometimes, huh?
Honestly we sort of knew we had issues in that last fight, so the fire wasn't completely unexpected. But you always get back in the arena for the next match if you can move at all!
