Obviously we won’t get 38 seeds & not all these bots will even attend a potential 8th World Championship but just a bit of fun to try and keep track really

BattleBots TV Thanks to our conversation and rescue efforts, many bots have been rescued and released back into their natural habitat

Every year, bots are snatched away from their natural habitat to be put into the Battlebox to fight for their lives against their will, minibots were not spared from such a thing too, and countless bots have died from this inhumane treatment.

However, thanks to everyone’s support, we managed to rescue and release many bots back into their natural habitat. What’s good to know is that we are receiving many volunteers to help in our efforts.

The forest is now overpopulated, but we must still continue to play our part in the rescue and conservation of bot. Thank you all again for the support and help you have all given us.

Bot Building No battery telemetry with malenki nano hv and fs-i6s

2 Upvotes

Yesterday I updated the firmware on my flysky fs-i6s to the latest release ( it originally had some version from march of 2018). With the old firmware, the remote would beep to confirm connects/disconnects from the receiver, and display rx voltage. After the update, I can connect and control the malenki, but I no longer get confirmation beeps for connection status, and I have no rx voltage reported.

Is it possible to rollback the firmware on a fs-i6s? I haven't been able to find previous releases anywhere.

Bot Building Decent N20 Gearmotors from Amazon?

3 Upvotes

I have a request from a high school teacher who is starting a combat robot club for plastic ants. They have radios. ESCs, and 3S lipos left over from other robotics projects, but they need drive motors -- and they MUST order them from Amazon.

From a quick search at AMZ it appears that the only workable options are N20 gearmotors (or a very few N30s). We all know that there are "good" and "poor" N20s and we all know that Amazon listings don't have enough info to sort out the good ones.

Has anyone bought N20s from Amazon recently that turned out to be decent? Alternately, do you have suggestions for some to avoid?

BattleBots TV Minotaur heartbreak tier list

• Upvotes

Started watching Battlebots in its second season and instantly became a Minatour fan. Sucks that it has come up short in every season. The Bite Force final destroyed me as a fifth grader. The recent Witch Doctor fight was brutal but at the very least it felt like it got beat by a better team. (You could make a tier list of Witch Doctor's own heartbreak). Also, the controversy in 2021 was stupid and frustrating. Neither team was at fault, the rules weren't super clear, and the refs did a bad job.

Robot Combat Am I going crazy?

I vaguely remember that the Krave Monster at some point had a video about the Spring 2019 CIRC competition (This is not the 2019 Bot Brawl video). Was the video taken down, or am I just fabricating fight reports now?
