Martian Gil Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yesterday the race track opened on the 2022 Robot Racing Series @ Martian Gil's Robot Cabinet. Here is the inaugural race (seen yesterday on the Selektrobot thread) - the Selektrobot was the clear winner in what had to be a rigged race. not for anything, but authorites are looking into things... Regardless; race #1 Stay tuned for race #2 - don;t turn that dial... or, refresh that screen to see the uodate. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Gil Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Race #2 - sponsored today by an aged Laphroig over ice. For those times when you need your scotch and camphor together... apologies for the nearly disastorous, unbridled aggresion that Brian's robot seemd ready to unleash upon the bragadocious, little Polka Dot. I'll try to keep a more calm envirionment in the future. I'll also attempt to sound more clear - I'm not used to audiences... other than tin and plastic Race #3 is scheduled for tomorrow evening, but weather may be a factor. Stay tuned to this thread for more thrilling nerd action. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Fun stuff, Kirk! I once did a robot smack down with a Rocket USA R-1 versus a Schyling Thunder Robot. the R-1 literally knocked the Thunder's lights out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have those toys back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to dig deeep into some boxes to look for Star War toys, but I will try to keep the race fans happy! I will have popcorn for you, Alle! Robot Race #3 - conditional may not be optimal for a race this afternoon, but if there is, the officials need to choose two participants from the three pictured below; Jupiter 2 Radar Robot, by John Rigg Planet Robby (remote), by Yoshiya Alpha Strider, by John Rigg. Personally, I think that Strider looks a bit confident... Is he just trying to bluff his competition? Help me out if you like by picking two of the three shown robots to race each other. I will try to keep the violence to a minimum. Votes will be tallied from here, fb, and Instagram. Cheers all! I hope a little fun is had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Gil Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Whoa! It looks like that Polka Dot might have an angry challenger! These Rigg-bots are both damned cool. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 LOL! Love the starter pistol sound effect. Strider is acting a little like the hare in this race. His overconfidence will be his undoing. Of course, my faith in my friends will be mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maloo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hilarious when the Strider bends backwards and then forwards before rejoining the race. I never realized how much action and detail there was in this robot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really had to make sure he wasn't firing live lazer beams... And, yes - A.S. does seem a bit smug at the moment. 20 minutes ago, Maloo said: Hilarious when the Strider bends backwards and then forwards before rejoining the race. Clive, it's like John programmed him for that very moment - amazing little bot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
