We are Team Upstart from the Netherlands.
The past six months we have tried to build our first combat robot.
In this video the first test drive of our creation.

Our final goal is to build an eggbeater and compete in Antwerp Expo 2014.
Gosh that drives really nice! Do you have any info on the specs and pictures of inside it?
Dave
Specs:
- TZ85A (DX6i amended code)
- GR02 Gimson 18V 24:1
- Banebots 73mm wheels
- Stainless steel 3mm
- Mild steel 10mm
Used a 3 cell lipo for testing.
Love the sound it makes when its turning, sounds like a snake :p
Looks like a very nicely made machine, is it going to be fighting full combat?
The first test drive we were surprised by the (snake) sound.
Not used to so much noise compared to my previous LEGO robots :p
Yes we are going for full combat with an active weapon.
The wedge is our backup plan if we fail to build a good ... uhh ... evil weapon :D
From wedge to monster.
Pure class!
That's incredible.
The result of a Saturday afternoon testing. The robot is just as crazy about cookies as his owners. So from now on we call him Cookie Monster!

Lol, such a good name
Best test video ever.
Belch!!
Or should I write "BELT"?
The belt is not a problem! It's a test setup with a drill (in the hands of my brother).Quote:

A vacuum cleaning robot is very useful during these tests ... what a mess :)
Om nom nom nom cookies!
In this video we are testing the NTM Prop Drive 4248 brushless outrunner and the bracket we made for mounting the motor. The weapon is a (unbalanced) test version and not the final Hardox 500 version.

Made from hardox 500.

Next known feather event on the main land, MMM, in Bochum, Germany, september 27th.
Looking good. What is the machine made from? The outer bulkheads look a little weak with all the holes in them and I would be concerned about a horizontal pulling the bulkheads apart and releasing your weapon... unless its all Titanium in which case it will be a very dangerous machine.
I agree that it would have been better to use titanium for the bulkheads.
But at the moment it's more a Money Monster than a Cookie Monster.
So we decided to cover the steel bulkheads with hardox plate, and hope that our weapon hits the horizontal first :) The top and bottom plate are made from 3mm stainless steel and the weapon is made from 20mm hardox 500.
What you need....is plywood :D
Or even mdf
Maybe we should use biscuits, then it's a real Cookie Monster :lol:
@maddox See you in Germany.
Cookie Monster has survived its first event. I think we were the most chaotic team present 8)
Thanks Ellis for borrowing the pliers... 3 times :)

Lol, very welcome! Nice to meet you guys. :)
Chaotic? I just thought you guys were enthousiastic and at some points frantic.
Coockie Monster performed quite well and I do hope you'll find the time soon enough to make the repairs and improvements you talked about. Even with a team member abroad.
Thank you! The next time we try to stay more K.a.L.M :D
We hope to make the repairs and improvements before my brother moves to Indonesia.
How is Bulls it doing? Do you have a video from the big hit that is missing in my video?
I added a link in the comment section of your vid.
But here is a quicker link for ya.
