Battlebot. Original is purple and black but I wanted to change the colors to something cuter.

Which color scheme?

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yes but not in a good way.

How did you think they made Slaanesh in the first place?

I've made a few, but most of them have never fought

my bots This is GIANT ENEMY CRAB, my first actually functioning bot. It's 1lb plastic antweight class, made of PETG (not actually ideal - most people use PLA+). He hangs out on my bookshelf, never got to fight but would probably shatter on first impact anyways.

Then I made Jackalope, a full combat antweight which at least used actual combat robot parts and materials (the body is a flexible TPU, weapon is AR500, front armor is titanium). It was too floppy though and the belted weapon and drive pulleys didn't work great. Never competed.

This is BBYGRL, a 3lb Beetleweight drum spinner and my first to actually fight. Went 2-2 after a whole lot of receiver issues that the other competitors helped me troubleshoot throughout the day. I wish I had some post combat pics cause it got fucked up real good.

This is Spring Rabbit, BBYGRL's successor. Uses like 90% of the same parts in a new frame. You can see the damage to the aluminum spinner. I replaced the tpu body with carbon fiber nylon, which is maybe a weaker material but much more repairable. I still need to get it some steel "shoes" for front armor.

Here is Licktoad, a 1lb that I am working on but is mostly complete.

I've also had a bunch half-brewed and aborted projects that I'll probably never actually build. Like this abomination that uses rotating front forks to high-center the opponent before hammersaw swings at them.

This is what I do instead of video games.

Made a new robot out of spare parts. 1lb, Plastic Antweight class. Not my design - my first kitbot, a Force Knight (https://teammalice.com/index.php/scar-kit-and-spares/scar-plastic-antweight-electronics-kit/). I just realized I had like 80% of the parts in my spare parts drawer already (and even the OG color filaments) and didn't have a plantweight yet. It's got a big wedge for horizontal spinners and some forks to get under other verticals and control bots.

I don't really like the 1lb classes - it's too small and cramped - but the local arenas aren't built for my preferred 3lb Beetleweight class.

Anyways, off to make a 3lb hammersaw as my next project. Or maybe even a 12lb idk.

Ethan Klein made a big video talking about Hasan, the "content nuke". Several other streamers made react videos talking about it, including many left wing and pro-Palestinian streamers. Ethan is now suing a couple of said streamers, for violating his copyright by showing the video on their streams.

Ironically, a long time ago Ethan was subject to a similar lawsuit about react content, which he won by saying that his react video was sufficiently transformative.

Hasan is not being sued. He is only relevant as the video was part of Ethan's obsession with him.
