Team whyachi gearbox

The darn thing worked! Very controllable, very powerful, and very fast! But this was as nothing to my shock when I weighed it. Even with those gearbox supports that I have to cut down and haven't drilled out yet! I might just make it! I had a great time at Battle On The Beach. Red Menace lost again, but Anorexia had better luck; I won a fight, lost another in a split decision, engaged in Bunny Soccer our side were all running the T-Box , and had a great grudge match with Eat Hitch and Die.

Robot debugging consumed a lot of my time. The first problem was that the insides of the bot got so hot that the endbells of the motors started melting the tyvek booties just vaporized! After my first fight, I'd used up all my spare motors; thank goodness for overnight delivery from Tower Hobbies.

This issue was solved by drilling a lot of vent holes in the top and bottom plates. Not horribly pretty but it worked. I also reconfigured the transmitter so that most of the time, the robot ran on 7. My second battle was with an intermittent short in the PWM cables, one of which had melted due to the heat in a non-obvious way, smoking my mixer but not, thank goodness, my radio!

Lucky for me Dan Danknick had a trunkfull of spares. And then I had to deal with radio range problems, which I eventually fixed by mounting a Dean's antenna on the side of the robot.

Apart from these issues, the robot performed very well. It was fast, responsive, and very sturdy. The only damage sustained was a slightly bent axle, and that could have been fixed onsite if need be. Fortunately, Terry of Team Whyachi had an extra. In particular, I'm building an anti-spinner attachment.

I am also going to test the small johnson motor to see if it works well with the T-Box. Such a deal. Anorexia did very well, taking second place!

Using the same titanium plow that was built for the original Middleweight Breaker Box, the entire rest of the robot was upgraded to the extreme.

The plow arms can rotate a full degrees around the robot, allowing Breaker Box to not only self-right, but escape from many sticky situations.

The plow can also act as a hammer, and allows for Breaker Box's signature "spin dance" maneuver. Fights click the links to view the video, where available Battlebots : Pro Championship won vs Suspect Device lost vs Brutality lost vs Root Canal.

After receiving a bye, Catastrophic's first ever fight was against re:boot. This match started with Catastrophic charging across the arena floor, and immediately slamming into re:boot. This collision popped Catastrophic up into the air allowing re:boot to get under it. This hit also bent the wedge of Catastrophic, re:boot then slammed Catastrophic into the wall twice.
