Skip to 6:15 to see what happens when you put a vex robot in the ring with a battlebot:

Not much left really!

@vextanfield Have sent a useful video. Good luck.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@vextanfield I hope that makes sense. I'll have a look and see if I can find anything better to help.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@vextanfield To align the motor with the holes in the metal, it is probably easiest to draw a circle on the metal using a sketch.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@vextanfield Using a mate constraint will attach the motor to the face of the channel by selecting the two surfaces.

@_JamesCosgrove @JWSRobotics I'll put some more detailed pics on the group chat in a bit.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@_JamesCosgrove @JWSRobotics I have attached it to the inner plastic circle. They are made from layered plastic like 3116A's NBN launcher.

Launcher mechanism version 2 @JWSRobotics

@Chewmacca1 @Chris_Calver Well, the bot is basically ready to compete now, so I'm trying to sort out getting to a competition.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@Chewmacca1 @Chris_Calver @UKRobotWars Maybe one day, but this one is proving difficult enough for me at the moment.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@Chris_Calver @Chewmacca1 Whilst I had plenty of clear space, I thought I'd give this bot a run :)

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@HBSrobotics @JWSRobotics Thank you. Much appreciated.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@HBSrobotics Would it be possible to borrow a motor for tomorrow? https://t.co/dIRLDGRWiN

[3116 @JWSRobotics]

Has anyone in one of the teams coming to John Warner Herts regional got a VEX IQ motor we could borrow for tomorrow's STEM event please?

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

Very nice to speak with @HBSrobotics today. Good luck with the IQ and EDR builds and look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

[Control Freaks @TCF_3116B]

We win autonomous! #VexUK

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@stringents @5tills That's the one. Need to message the organisers and see how to enter now though.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@5tills @stringents I am hopefully. Should probably look at sorting that out as a priority now.

[Glow Man @5tills]

@GlitchRobotics @stringents now that's recycling. Probably the first time a winning robot has been successfully repurposed... And won again

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@stringents @5tills Won the first Vex Starstruck regional of the year with Glitch and only undefeated team. A few scars, but still kicking.

[Glitch Robotics @GlitchRobotics]

@stringents @5tills Do either of you recognise the robot that won the competition today?
