Now that "Battlebots" is getting shown on ordinary broadcast
television (wider audience available than a cable channel), it
could be
appropriate for the HalfBakery to devote a category to the
topic. I'm
suggesting "Kombot" as a variation of "Kombat", which itself is a
variation of "Combat".
I didn't want to spell it "Combot"
because it
looks too similar to another notion altogether, "Commbot"
(communications robot).
I'm going to link a couple existing Ideas that could be moved to
that
category. And I have a couple more notions I'd like to write
down,
which could fit in that category. Perhaps the HB crowd could
jointly
concoct a competition robot....

... constructed in polished mahogany and brass, running on an over-unity powerplant fuelled by custard, supported on hundred of dear little pink legs, and equipped with an air-conditioned beehive, a genuine Louis XIV crystal chandelier, and a ferret exercise assault course, all controlled by a microminaturised Jaquard frame using recycled AOL CDs as the memory plaques ... |

[FlyingToaster], I was not aware that fighting robots
were a
product you could buy in a store, like you can buy
cookies
in a store. (The nearest thing that I can think of are
known as "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots" but technically
they are more like puppets than robots.) I would
definitely say that that category
deserves to be moved somewhere else. Robot fighting
IS being widely treated as a sport. |
|
| |
[8th of 7], there are weight limits to consider... |
|
| |
We may be forced to forego the air conditioning in the beehive, then ... |
|
| |
Perhaps the beehive could have some kind of fractal shape to allow passive cooling? |
|
| |
We were thinking more along the lines of taking a power feed from the ferret's exercise wheel, but yes, that would be good too. |
|
| |
It may be necessary to reduce the amount of jam, as well |
|

Holy crap. The wrestling robots in the third link are
very impressive indeed! |
|
| |
They need a ball-bearing inside each foot, extruded for quick sideways movements. |
|
| |
Does anyone know if the robots in that third link are
fully autonomous, or remote controlled? |
|
| |
It appears that the Sports category has a "Fighting" section,
and all I really need to ask for is a "Robots" subsection.
Please? |
