Rebuilding our BATTLEBOT (VIDEO #3/4)

Hacksmith has to be the only company to casually use an actual lightsabre for construction

As a former electrical engenier in germany please avoid multilayer ceramic capacitators. They crack under vibrations or impactpluses. They are known to burst and short the supplyrail connected. Replace them with single layer cersmic capacitators or tantalum capacitators. I can tell you a dozent cases where there are going bed. In one case it was on a cnc controller board. A spindle crash had shock the maschiene. The caps looked visual good. With the help of a thermal camara we could see that they are shortet. After desoldering they came appart in two pieces. In some cases they even pass a normal resistans test and arc at higher voltages ass the 3v ohm test of a standart multimeter.

We're thrilled to be part of the journey. We hope Orbitron shredded the competition!

The co creator of BattleBots trey roski has said that from the various amount of proving grounds participants both manta and orbitron are guaranteed to enter the tv show!

To preserve hardness: 1.) cooling naturally makes the metal softer. 2.) Quinching the metal in a oil bath is the recommended method for preserving hardness.

Bogdan - If you want to pot electronics, you need to pot them with something soft like silastic first before you shroud or submerge that in epoxy. Components flex too much during thermal loading, which will cause them to fail if potted directly. The 2-stage potting is what's used on high-end e-bike controllers, for the same reasons.

I am sincerely cheering for you guys to make it big in battlebots and go against the big-dogs like Endgame, Sawblaze, Hydra, Riptide etc. IT WILL BE LIT!

10:00 Hearing, “We’ve made some really cool scale models of Orbitron” while I’m 3D printing scaled models I designed of my own combat robot while watching this is actually hilarious

What happens to the orbiting algorithm if the other robot is in the corner? Will the orbit move to the center or will your robot hit a wall. Interested to hear how you solved that. Great job on the robot, looking forward to the fight footage.

The battlebot episodes are my favorite

I love your stronger bar shape, and blue too! :) Glad to see you all building BattleBots, keep it up, thanks for sharing this video with such a wide audience! -Paul Ventimiglia (Bite Force)

we need the hacksmith and jlaser collab asap

It's truly impressive to see the dedication and hard work put into improving Orbitron. The attention to detail in redesigning, rebuilding and going back to fight shows real commitment. The usage of ar500 for the blades must have been a game-changer!

You should cover the Robot with cut protection trousers. That would stop all rotation weapons.

Good luck guys! new version looks great! Fingers crossed you get the W :)

they just casually pull out lightsabre to heat things up is crazy

To preserve hardness: 1.) cooling naturally makes the metal softer. 2.) Quinching the metal in a oil bath is the recommended method for preserving hardness. I saw deltoncbaker post this first and would agree after looking it up when i heard them say let it cool naturally but maybe its cause of the type of metal

The sheer power of Orbitron is incredible!!

LOVE that you dove right in machining 3/4 aluminum on our machines! As a bunch of engineering nerds ourselves we are super impressed. Keep it up!🦾

Really enjoying the new format of videos. Less standard youtube quantity and more quality video content. Keep up the good work!
