fight fight fight the battle begin Oh No 3 2 1 to the battle box we're competing on BattleBots the most brutal robot fighting competition in the world we've already got three videos on this but in case you missed it we funded and mentored W student to create orbitron one of the first aid driven Battle Bots time was limited but we managed to build a full bot in just over 8 weeks drove to Vegas for our first proven grounds match and lost terribly but we don't give up we rebuilt it better faster and stronger and now the team's back in Vegas to fight a new Contender disarray another vertical spinner built by Wildcat robotics will we be Victorious and secure a spot on the upcoming TV show or will this be the end of orbitron this video is sponsored by Shopify the best place to start run and grow a business we're at the BattleBots Arena and our robot's here let's open it up wait one robot we mean two thanks to Avid CNC we can machine the frames inous so now we have enough parts for two robots meaning we're good for both [Music] fights big spin we have we have orbitron 2 and orbitron 2.1 no they're they're the same thing they're just the exact same Parts times two so we're fighting daray desay is another vertical spinner it's got a big drum with two teeth on either end um it's a pretty wide bot so it have a very stable stance but um since this time we're fighting a vertical spinner and our robot is more optimized for a vertical spinner I think we have a good chance we've noticed in the past FS that disarray is done they've ran a miniot and we're not sure if they're going to run it this time but that could potentially screw up our Machine Vision because our system our main motion tracking uses motion detection and the mini bot is motion so sometimes it might actually lose tracking of their bot and go after the miniot which would not be good are you worried at all if they bring the miniot uh for mechanical reasons no for Peter yes um and the problem is we won't really be able to test that until tomorrow as long as we click on the right bot and we have set the minimum size right that min mini bot should be just filtered out cool outstanding oh no setting up the camera I'm going to try and make sure the angle's good we can see like the whole field it's nice and focus now one of the new additions this time is we added the ability to mask out different regions of the image and that kind of fooled our our tracking before it was the screws last time right yeah and I'm just going to draw a rectangle and then block them out so now it shouldn't get fooled if they move cuz they're gone so I glued the magnet arrays on Saturday and Sunday packed them up threw them in the crate so now we have to do is take them put the Emi shield in the back and drop them into the robot we have to just kind of get them in there hopefully pinch no fingers I have got gloves for a reason and then we should be stuck to the ground with 100 lb more Force okay don't tilt it down got it yep Forks good we are installing the batteries for the first time at the BattleBots Arena well not not the first time but like the first time here we're going to do a full system check make sure we have full communication with the controllers all the motor temperatures look good and then we're going to the Box we're going to do our uh Drive testing and tuning so we're going to make sure we're tuning with the magnets we have the right wheels on in place now so we're going to make sure we have as much traction as we can get we going to tune the speeds the accelerations the turn radiuses the camera overlay test all of our software changes and make sure our camera mount is perfect and if all goes well we'll be ready to fight tomorrow if you'd like to see the full schematic diagram make sure to check out our maker.io Link in the description below do you have one drive okay how about the other one yes cool yeah let's talk about controllers let's address the elephant in the room here so in our first fight we had our PlayStation 5 dual sense controller connected via USB to Peter's laptop and at some point during the match we know exactly what point it decided to disconnect so we said screw wireless controllers and we have these Microsoft officially licensed Xbox controllers that are just wired and then we have one and another one and another one and another one we're not having a controller disconnect this time it's Center Board One Drive working on it Peter we have radio we have radio okay we lost the radio every team has offse break the indicator light on this side so we are going to fix that sound yeah um it made a terrible popping noise when I turned it on yeah so do we have anything are we talking anything right now nothing okay we're calling it I'm going to grab you go down that way that way sure okay yeah I'm worried wir let's just pull that side off that side's easy to pull off we never saw this drive turn on that might have been what blew up yeah to the front is the best canot get power I do not know well we pinched our backlight cables and that's a bit of a problem because the backlight goes directly to the batteries so our motor drivers aren't working and motor dri aren working the motor's aren working and the bot's not working so we're going to try to cut the cables here where they're pinched you can see all that's exposed cut splice add the new length on and hopefully nothing's permanently damaged and it works the switch BW when he starts switch pop the only thing that appears to be normal is the drive yeah I don't know what else I'm expecting to get out of this we know that the dryve vesque we know the one drve vesk is somewhat alive we know that weapon desk is somewhat alive so right now we know that this ESC is probably not dead yes we don't know about the this one cuz we couldn't turn it on let's fix the can and then see if the drive comes on [Music] okay so we know a couple things are wrong this switch may not survive um we know our can harness took some damage we know one of our switches is dead and we that's all we know we have to fix those two items before we can actually go and diagnose other things [Music] more we fixed a power switch and the Cann bu harness and the end indicator light wires and we're hoping that will fix absolutely everything but then this is the the bar that wasn't working right now we see the VES Express and that drive as soon as I try to reload it just dies totally oh oh no I mean when we had power this's plan team replace three motor controllers all three that kind of out of the robot so we get to see how quickly we can replace them now right now we have three working escs in the robot and one not working yeah so then tomorrow we have to get another working ESC in there okay whatever that means not a good first day before we fight and potentially watch our hopes and dreams go up in Flames like last time I want to tell you about some limited edition products I've been working on to help support our BattleBots team my personal favorite is this one 16 scale model of orbitron this is a build it-yourself kit that comes with metal Spinners bearings and all the hardware to build it then we have our 112 scale simplified version that comes assembled but if you want to print these yourself you can buy the designs or get them for free as a YouTube channel member we also have our official team jerseys printed on our premium Smith shirt material this is all made possible by Shopify which also happens to be the sponsor of this

set of eyes and determined that the issue was nothing that we thought it was yay for fresh set of eyes we replaced the controller board that was bad we did not replace the motor controller from yesterday so now we have to go take it back outside and do the full Suite of calibration on all the motors and yeah I guess on all the motors and then make sure we're good and get testing okay I'm going to switch to the other one make sure that forward is in fact forward clear we have four motor controllers working in the robot they have spun up all the motors we are just going through verifying the firmware on all the boards s going to button up the robot get the weapons on in the Box this robot's throwing with my with my emotions I don't know it works it doesn't work it kind of works it kind of doesn't work everything's closed up and we're seeing all the data now and it's being very responsive so I'm really hopeful I'm trying to connect to it what you're not seeing right here is we're having control issues with the robot we're not getting data from the computer at a regular interval and that just makes the robot uncontrollable we can't fight with the robot in this condition what's happening this board is really something about this assembly is like he so it's happy right now and we do this and it's [Music] dead so this wire that is supposed to be soldered to there just isn't [Music] yes so our next hypothesis is just the antenna got damaged I still don't know why these guys aren't working properly but these ones have been notoriously worse than the center board so we're our next test is to try swapping the antenna and um hopefully that'll fix it in the diagnostic process we got to the point where we're basically tearing out the center board uh so we're just going to replace it with another one don't stop point to get the robot Tong don't mess up that was good except for I'm holding a magnet in my hand we're going to look at the magnet arrays if we sheared the threads out then we're not going to run the magnets if the screws just loosened out from vibrations we're going to lock tap the screws and run the magnets we're going to change the batteries and get [Music] ready multiple robots uh we've done everything we can the boss powering up all of our drivers are connecting we have at least improved our communication we've seen a drive our Forks are working at least a little bit better so I'm hopeful yeah I'm ready all I have to do is turn on the robot and take the tooth covers off believe fight number three lucky [Music] one [Applause] [Music] ners are high let's make a spash disarray or like [Music] disassembled fight fight fight fight [Music] fight [Music] in 10 9 8 guys go all the way back to okay [Music] back [Music] that was awesome we've got the replay going here and this feel good you guys start it [Applause] off we're looking really really good the forks are bent up again that's fine that's how they're supposed to happen there's some chips on the weapon discs maybe a little more than we were hoping for but we destroyed their ar500 weapon and armor but I think I don't think we're changing anything yeah every time you win a battle B you get a wind POG and the idea is you put them on the side of your Bot like kills like in World War II you know you put like a whatever right kill count yeah kill count thank you that means so uh that everyone who wins a fight in battle gets a winall so congratulations that's our first one TV tapings we actually put all you see the kids they're actually all yeah perfect you get another one tomorrow yeah what went right was we had traction we could move controllably my favorite clip is the very first few seconds of the match when you know we claimed the center really quick and then we adjusted for where they were going I think what needs to change in terms of Mobility is I was over steering quite a lot so I think there's some stability stuff we can do to start the radio's actually performed so that's the big thing we could talk to the robot unfortunately we were struggling to lock the vision we got it around halfway through but then they were under the camera spot so I couldn't really there wasn't much it could track cuz it's literally just blocked off but and then the match ended and I was like wait it's over like what cuz I was just looking at the screen and then suddenly we're walking off so I'm I was like confused we got to take the forks off we're just going to drop new ones on we're going to change out the bar we're going to clean up the disc bend the self Rider straight and that's it I couldn't be happier [Music] so after our fight yesterday we went rebuild the robot fixed everything that was broken we got it back in the box with the old Wheels the ones we were testing in the morning so now we're going to put it back in the box for more time make sure that everything's good because we are and we want to test AI stuff and then we're going to take it back to the pits pull the side armor panels off swap the wheels get new batteries in it and be ready for our next fight around 3:30 [Music] [Applause] [Music] to whoa couple of Speedy Bots wow a few the little guy look at shark baby looks like he's ready we're going to send you into orbit disarray I think disassembled okay okay F fight fight fight fight there they go apart from somebody what I worry about the little guy Steve me too not going to I'd stay out the way follow him oh for you can feel the power of this weapon taking disarray the little guy's com to go now he's on his side oh no there we go okay this I'm going to need to see some movement or I'm counting you out okay in 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 [Music] knockout yes no fires wow they are uh they are destroyed oh they are uh they're worried about [Music] dis it went better than last time I don't know what else to say our robot is in just as much of One Piece as it was last time and the robot is in significantly more pieces than it was last time I don't think we could have asked for literally anymore this is the first round where we've actually broken the barrier of human control it was a honestly minor difference but to say that we've done it now just feels so good and we got the data so we can keep improving I'm just happy we're off the ground All Things Considered everything went awesome the team did a great job diagnosing and fixing the robot during the kind of Trials of Friday and Saturday morning the repairs last night went beautiful we were had no concerns about being ready for the fight today and both fights just went really well they went really as well as we could have asked it was a lot of fun I'm glad we did this now that's what I'm talking about I wish I could have been there shortly after the fight the co-founder of BattleBots had this to say they came um you know like a month ago or whatever and they lost both fights and then they came this time and they won both fights you know so he kind of looked at their mistakes they made they found ways to fix them they found ways to make them better I guarantee you when they show up for the TV tournament you know which they will they're going to be way ahead of everybody else that doesn't you know doesn't come play in the in the opportunity with the Proving Grounds so we're pretty confident that we're going to be on the TV show but we have our work cut out for us if we want to win against legendary veterans like Tombstone andame or sa blazs if you want to help support this team and help us get to
