Live and actual sound. Video by Robert Grimm. This was only my (Laurie Calvert) 2nd fight driving Mako the shark-like robot, blue and silver wedge 1000psi CO2 flipper, made from 3.8mm Hardox steel. This was an 11-way melee so was bedlam but great fun. 14th July 2024.
I was still learning how to drive the robot in contest. Also it has a gas leak and was venting CO2 yet still managed 25 flips in the first 2.5 mins. Had a go at Gabriel the white-wheeled robot. Got flipped a lot of times but self-righted except for about 2.5mins in when the gas had leaked out. Still we got knocked over again and finished on our feet. Also practised getting off the wall, which is a large flip.
Since the robot seems to have had a gas leak a few times and has variable flipper power. Also the ESC had failed the day before, so some frantic repairs. The seal in the ram also needed fixing, and a couple of other issues come up on later fights, some due to damage of course. Some already there. Trying to get the robot strong.
Was great fun.
