  Antweight, yep!

  What type of bot/s do you have/are you planning to build? Meta vert spinner? Meat and potatoes horizontal? Control bot? Entirely too technical and expensive to be practical at antweight flipper?

  Though I just meant I own a lot of manufacturing robots

  Like industrial “rip your hand off without bogging down” arms or ?? and why?

  the antweight thing is just a coincidental hobby.

  That sounds like the least coincidental thing possible considering they can’t exactly be used for anything else can they?

  if you don’t have a specialization that shunts you into the public sector.

  Everyone wants the coveted silicon valley stress for 5 years then retire and coast off your resume position dont they.

    Ah no I just meant it was a coincidence that when I said robots, referring to my milling machines, you guessed one of the main things I do with them (combat robots). I do technically own an arm, but it’s just a small 2.5-axis tray placing arm, everything else I have is just various flavors of CNC or 3D printing equipment. And as to why I own them: I’m really bad with money and my autistic hyperfocus is robots. IDK man they’re just cool.

    What type of bot

    Is there really a difference between a vert spinner and an antweight flipper? The answer is a beaterbar spinner, but my local group plays with an arena floor that isn’t flat so the meta has really been shifting towards control bots because they’re the least reliant on clearance for success (looking at you, wedgebots. Looking at you with scorn in my gaze). But I’ve been messing around with a hammerspinner design that I’m really hoping will bring back the carnage!

    Turns out those jobs are really hard to get, damnit…

      Ah no I just meant it was a coincidence that when I said robots, referring to my milling machines, you guessed one of the main things I do with them (combat robots).

      It’s what I plan to do when I have enough time and space since I already do makery things when I’m feeling up to it, so I figured, if you already have a work bench and CNC machine, there are very few low stress/investment things you can make with one and this is one of the more fun ones.

      Like sure you could be making product prototypes or tools etc, but all of those are like getting a second job. Combat robots is like once every 2 months you have 2 days of fun getting your shit torn apart and figuring out what you fucked up at the design or assembly stage, or that your control scheme is jank.

      (Is there really a difference between a vert spinner and an antweight flipper…?)

      I mean, one can do actual damage, has additional difficulty driving with the gyro effect, and flips bots and, the other can turn the other bot upside down temporarily.

      Yup, and you might not be selling your soul, but you’re certainly leasing it.
