Blendo is a combat robot designed and built by Jamie Hyneman. Adam Savage handled the electronics and control systems. [1] Blendo pioneered the full-body kinetic energy spinner weapon, which later became common in BattleBots. The robot featured a shell constructed from a wok and was powered by a 5hp lawnmower engine.
In the past, a robot would be classified as a "Sit-and-spin" robot, and would depend on the opponent to engage it to cause damage. As this was deemed less aggressive (which is a common judging criteria) than what could be done by robots armed with a spinning shell mounted on top of their drive, it waned in popularity in most competitions.
Coppélia, a life-size dancing doll in the ballet of the same name, choreographed by Marius Petipa with music by Léo Delibes (1870) The word robot comes from Karel Čapek's play, R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), written in 1920 in Czech and first performed in 1921. Performed in New York 1922 and an English edition published in 1923.
A ball balancing robot also known as a ballbot is a dynamically-stable mobile robot designed to balance on a single spherical wheel (i.e., a ball). Through its single contact point with the ground, a ballbot is omnidirectional and thus exceptionally agile, maneuverable and organic in motion compared to other ground vehicles.
The 1995 US Robot Wars middleweight champion La Machine was an early and effective static wedge design, as was the Robot Wars Series 1 champion, Roadblock, in 1997. Two-time lightweight BattleBots champion Dr. Inferno Jr. was a low rectangular machine surrounded by hinged wedges. 2018 BattleBots competitor DUCK! utilized a powered lifting wedge ...
Modular self-reconfiguring robotic systems or self-reconfigurable modular robots are autonomous kinematic machines with variable morphology. Beyond conventional actuation, sensing and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots, self-reconfiguring robots are also able to deliberately change their own shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new ...
3. Keebler Fudge Magic Middles. Neither the chocolate fudge cream inside a shortbread cookie nor versions with peanut butter or chocolate chip crusts survived.
If a robot ends a turn on any repair site (a space with a wrench), the robot's archive marker is moved to that spot. If a robot ends a turn on a space with one wrench, one point of damage is repaired. If a robot ends a turn on a space with two wrenches, two points of damage are repaired OR the robot receives a random upgrade card.
