This weapon is heavier then the bot! (Fingertech HiJinx bar 150g bot build)

Hi, I am Madeline from HiJinx and I'm super happy that this is what is being done with the blade I adapted to work for 1lb bots.

This is the most ridiculous antweight I've ever seen haha. If I was vs you I'd be tempted to just let it get up to full speed and unleash the chaos! 😂

In today's episode, Ben builds a nuke.

This may be the first time I'm glad rather than sad that you're on the other side of the world from the UK. That thing is terrifying and I do not want to have to fight it!

You do realise you've basically built an antweight Apex! 💥 (Oh god, RW10 flashbacks!) This has to be one of the most bonkers robots you've ever built! And I love it!

After watching the live stream I was so hyped to see this video!

Congratulations. I didn't think it was possible looking at the numbers.Hope you get at least one spectacular hit out of it.

You should name the the bot "Sombrero" because it looks like a sombrero when it spins up.

If this is the newest version of A Little Obvious, I’m interested to see how it fights.

really like your use of a pcb as a baseplate, it's inspirational

I've wanted to see a 75+ gram weapon implemented on a 150 gram robot or in fact build one myself, it's cool to see someone's taken on that challenge! As a fan of ridiculously large spinners I do hope it does well or at least puts on a good show. Can't wait to see it fight!

That's impressive! Even if you can sorta drive, I think surviving your own hit is going to be a really big problem

That video was awesome! Now you just have to build the rest of mini HiJinx lol.

Lowjinx is funny. I also like "Big Hits" as a name. A little on the nose, though, haha. This is going to be really fun.

I would love to see a little front skid or prong to help keep the nose/weapon up while driving. Looking forward to the fight report.

Fun name idea for this bot could be "Nothing But Bar"

When it span up to full speed it sounded like a rotary engined aircraft!

That is quite the silly build, pretty amazing you managed to have it within weight by half a gram. Could you mount the weapon to the motor axle before mounting the motor in the chassis? Does the competition you want to take this to have rules on spin-down times?

I know the orientation of the weapon is different, but please call it something like Deep Sixth - that would be the icing on the cake for it 😆

It’s pretty much triton but overhead spinner and a ant weight lol

That is as brilliant as it is crazy. It's a shame you couldn't get your ESC circuitry working on the board though. I look forwarding to seeing it fight

prediction - Anyone who doesnt box rush you will have a bad day. Anyone who DOES box rush you, might have an easy fight.

When it comes to energy impact. E= Mass * velocity^2, It might be interesting to create the a weapon that goes as fast as possible. Perhaps a disc with a tooth that is held back by a spring and only overcomes the spring as some stupid speed. Kind to opposite exercise of what happened here- maximize speed over weight.

great video, I like the way you come up with out of the box designs. What motor driver and microcontroller were you planning on the PCB? Looks like the way you were going to connect the N20 motors to the PCB was similar to what I did ( created a small PCB that is a back plate on the N20 and it connects the motor connectors and right angle female headers to connect to male headers on the PCB) very clean, was that similar to what you had planned? I used ESP8266's to act as wireless and microcontroller on both the bot and controller, because I was focused on making an inexpensive complete bot and controller. Using the ESP8266 and ESPNOW, sending data was easy and didn't have the interrupt issue. This year I got cheaper by doing a 1S design that can easily do flea weight and has a TP4056 charger module soldered to the PCB to charge the bot. Thus I only needed to supply students with a USB cable for charging. Even though I have spots on the PCB to plug in a servo or brushed esc, I have not gotten there because we have no arena that can safely battle in. Does anybody have ideas about a cheap and safe arena where we can get a little more destructive?

For the pcb esc could you do a space for a daughterboard mount? Ie pads that allow for a second board to be soldered to it flat.. ? Would allow smaller esc revsions and swaps without replacing fhe whole board.

Dude! When's this thing fighting!!:) I understand the event cancellation and I'm wondering if there's any update on that? I am very hyped to see this thing fight.

I wonder if it has the durability of actual HiJinx (no owls were harmed I think)

thats chunky!

That blade broo sickk love the build awesome...I'm new into robotics and need some advice on which motors r suitable for 1lb bots...any advice will be highly appreciated

Hey Ben! I'm looking into designing antweights and I like that tiny red brushed ESC you used. Any info on where to get it/what it's called?

Has this fought yet? I'd love to see it in action

Hi i justed wnated to know that in electronics what have you used instead of Arduino and motor driver and module because they are to small in size

Do you reckon the bar would spin up faster if you counter-spun the drive-half of the robot?

I want to buy this off of you. name your price.

Have you ran this yet?

Does it have a name yet?
