It's so cute, too.

I made a radio transmitter


The thing goes swoosh now.

The video is bork for me so I have no description for this.

Update: https://badspot.us/Robot-AL-Update.html

Videos now work woo.

I changed it to a youtube embed https://badspot.us/Robot-AL-Update.html

Also I built the radio receiver:


Chassis!
Got the aluminum build rolling around:



Naming time! And blade design
The CNC machine is temporarily down due to being moved but here is the blade design:

Just imagine that attached to the very bottom of the dome.

I need to name this thing.  Here are some ideas:

Hidamari - Due to the black and yellow theme of the controller.  Also it is somewhat sun shaped.
Bowler - It is made out of a bowl.  Well technically a cake mold.  "Cake mold" is not a good name.  Or is it?
Even Job - It's like the opposite of oddjob because it cuts off your feet.  
Bezek - Adoni-Bezek, "lord of Bezek", was a Canaanite king infamous for chopping off toes.  Bezek was a city but also means "lightning".  Lord of Lighting.  I could literally call it L.O.L. and have an intellectual etymology for it.

I'm not naming it "Betelgeuse" because I don't plan on making it project gay research until I get banned from the arena.


The forgeter spins and heck it looks like danger.

I'll try to get a better video tomorrow but robogames is very soon.

i want badspot to post updates in this thread too

TBH of I were him I woulda made the shell more jagged / rugged so in case his teeth idea doesn't work he'd have some form of attacking still, even though it's basically metal sandpaper.

didn't he make a robots taking over the world list



also paint it in dazzle camo

So is he going to enter this into some kind of robot fighting thing?
Or is he just trying to make ground based man-hacks?


glad to see the alt money going into new projects


Someone model whatever he makes into Blockland

a weapon to surpass metal gear

Dude if he enters this into Battle Bots that'd be insane

"It's ROBOT FIGHTING TIME"

so wait is this like a pre-desgined robot or did badspot come up with this himself
bc its cool af
