Competition Day

Overview

Cat-Aclysm was an amazing bot to fight, and I thoroughly enjoyed the build process, so thank you to everyone for your support, whether you helped me buid it, liked or viewed my devlogs, or just wanted to see some custom RC cars destroy each other. It did not place as well in the competition as I would have liked, but I do have lots of good feedback and stuff to improve.

Placement

Cat-Aclysm placed 12th out of 18 robots in the plastic ant class, winning 1 battle and losing 3. On the first day, the bot’s weapon unfortunately blew up in every single battle due to a structural issue, which was promptly fixed through lotsa overnight work and no sleep, and then Cataclysm won its first battle on the second day!

TIME TO SHIP!

The battle bot is finally complete, and I will be shipping the project after this final devlog! Attached below is one of the fights with my bot, as unfortunately the rest of them are too heavy to attach. If you would like them, as well as some much more explosive fights, DM me on slack for the full videos! Enjoy!

New Bots Are Coming

I will be continuing the hobby of combat robotics, so look out for some of my new robot designs that will be coming soon!
