Major Damage

actually i am funny.

i dont think anyone will be laughing if there robot is in the grip of major damage....

Or being walloped :lame:

the hammer actually comes down with a bit of force. robots should be ok but dont get your foot in the way :crazy:

shame it wasnt working at colchester :mrgreen:

according to Jonno block of wood is safefor now, im not worried it can take anything

ok, so a little update.

spent all weekend getting the claw and lifting arm working. :) Thanks to Andy for sorting the bugs.

Updated pic on my profile. its going to take a while before its completely finished as it has lots of bugs i need to get out before it can really do some damage.

Better flow control on the hydraulics, as trying to grip something with 6 tons of crush is going to be hard without damaging something.

The drive needs a bit of strenthening as it is too powerful for its own good, then it will need a total strip down before it gets painted.

However it is, if i say so, looking mighty fine and deadly already though, and cant wait to get it in the arena for a play at oldham.

WOW! Major Damage looks good with his sorroundings on ur profile Jonno!

That thing looks awesome :) I can see it being a real crowd pleaser at events

yes Oldham was its first event, and a big testing ground for it.

A few little tweaks required including some strenghtening of certain parts.

But the highlight of the first test, picking mighty mouse out of the pit, showing it to the crowd before spinning it around in the air in the centre of the arena !!!

Certainly a crowd pleaser and the hard work was worth it !!

Well Major Damage was hired for its first Public Appearance last night.

I was working at Coventry College doing a big educational project and they wanted something interesting for their open evening, He stood in front of the main door and replaced the whole of the security staff welcoming potential new students !!!

His diary is filling up nicely with bookings, including a very nice trip to the NEC in 2009 :)

i would post here but i might be saying a roaming robots top secret stuff :P

Whoa, now that is one crazy house robot. :)

Sir Killalot 2? Mr. Psycho Returns? :)

who?

o them old things

Can we flip it please.

I think Jonno will be displeased with U if U were to do that WJ!

I dont think Jonnod have much choice in the matter :proud:

I even think Jonno would LIKE to see it flipped. :proud:

But then who has to lift MD back onto his feet? remember what happened to Mr Psycho In Robot Wars Extreme 2?

You just need to persuade WJ to flip it back over then :P

He might try and flip it over the wall...if there are OOTAs... :P

ha ha.... anyone who flips it... the claw gets turned up ... he has a long memory !!! :)

we will flip it

a few of us on him at once!

You sound like JP, Jonno.

Hey Jonno, will Major Damage be at the UK Champs?

yes it will be

i think that might win uk champs then lol

After todays performance at Guildford i very much doubt it!

Andy

(Suppose this is where the long memory comes in eh Jonno!)

Who did it? :proud:

Luke immobilised Major Damage in the memorial fight.

An eleven year old with a feather!!!:rofl::rofl:

He was driving mini mighty mouse and when they seperated them he even went on to win the fight with Major Damage sitting in his corner not wanting to come out again.

Andy

(Apologies to Trevor but you did say it didnt matter if it got damaged cos you were rebuilding it!)

I think Saint Hammer got Its pick axe into the armour of MD too :proud:

i think your all just very unfair... picking on a poor little robot like Major Damage !!

yes ok...ok... it only took a few feather weights to gang up on him to stop him.... it was a two pronged attack... one underneath and poor little mini mighty mouse getting trapped between the track and the RSJ on the back of it.

I could have carried on driving backwards and forwards trying to free it but I saw the way the flipper was twisting.

He has a good memory craig !!! :)

Ooops :uhoh:

Nothing a little more oil can cure. :proud:

Long time no comment eh?

Hired MD for my 18th :D I'm really looking forward to introducing him to my friends and family!

Uh oh, will we be seeing a House Robot Rebellion between Major Damage and Team Bud at the end of this year? I'd love to finally see that giant lumox on his side and hammered more than Jack Hackett! :twisted:

Major Hammage vs. Green with N-V & The Hammer Of Righteousness & Rigamotrax

Hey, someone had to say it. :P

Just thought id share this picture...

This is the corridor i have to drive MD down to get it in and out of the unit where the arena is when i dont have a truck to take it out the front through the loading bay !!

It takes about 20 shunts back and forth when i get to the door to turn it 90 degrees and get it in.

Now thats whats you call good driving.. !!! No room for an error though :!:

LOL

Looks like a fire hazard if you ask me :lol: :lol:
