Camera test: Sony a6700 vs Samsung Galaxy S10e

As with any combat robot, safety is the most important consideration. For this test, I set up a wide wooden barrier between me and the robot, cutting off my side of the room completely. A simple camera test, featuring my 1lb combat robot "Cheesecake". I've been filming all my tournaments using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S10e), and recording in 4K resolution at 60 fps so I can zoom in in my editor...

Cheesecake vs Hypnovision: Exhibition Fight

Cheesecake wasn't ready for the next tournament in December, but we still got one good fight against a new robot called Hypnovision! I didn't bring my anti-undercutter attachment (the cake slice) because I didn't expect to fight an undercutter, so whatever happens, happens. www.robotcombatevents.com/groups/1116/resources/8229 0:00 - Overview 1:08 - Cheesecake vs Hypnovision 4:05 - Damage

Antweight Robot "Cheesecake" at Mechanical Mayhem Spring 2022
I see you are using nylon and aluminum spacers. Is there so much weight different between them? I would think they are both around 1g each.
I admire your sportsmanship in the final. Instead of going for the easy shots you aimed for the beater every time.
He wouldve made a stellar minibot alongside a big boy. Take him to NHRL!
Hey Alex, hope you see this. I’m competing at Kilobots 57 in August. Someone has a full replica of cheesecake. That’s how great of a design it is
I am starting to be a fan. Love Cheesecake!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I want to see more. Like your new battle bot for the beetle division. Maybe you will introduce us to it in this video. Cheers!
The return of Cheesecake!!! Yay!!!
Poor Cheesecake. You fought hard. Get well soon!
My next fight waOHGOD
5:40 This is like some sports anime tier strategy if we're treating Tiramisu as the protagonist lol
How do you make your carbon fiber parts?
I design them in Onshape, export them as a 2D DXF file, and then get them cut by SendCutSend or CNCMadness.
@@alexsalchemy how thick?
They're 1.5mm thick.
@alexsalchemy I was going to do some carbon fiber parts to.Thank you for this info and responding.
I am the 1.000nd like on this Video
Great video, to the point :) Thanks!
Wow. Mud skipper is a tank.
And good build and titanium armor, maybe a little thicker next time and it’ll deflect those hits. And I would’ve bent it higher up and closer to the blade housing first time. Might be a bit more expensive and heavier but definitely worth it.
Oh don't worry, I have a plan for Mudskipper. Will I hate myself for it? Only a little bit.
@@alexsalchemy awesome
We need a dark green wedge bot named Claymore with 'FRONT TOWARD ENEMY' written on it.
That's a wedgebot I could love.
17:44 that’s another RUclipsrs battle bot!
What weapon moto did you use for cheese cake?? I'm building my own and I'm wondering what you used
I use a Flashhobby D2822 1800KV, at 3S voltage. You can also get this motor in 1100KV, 1450KV, and 2600KV.
Im join
When temper took off cheesecakes wheel I knew it was gonna be exciting!
I'm really a fan of 3D printing with anything and coating it. But I'll consider a stainless steel nozzle
Please do. The brass ones contain lead!
suggestion for the new attachment; "The Frosting"
What does that kid say t 13:44? Everybody laughs but i can't hear what he said
He said, "Definitely not a cakewalk, if that's what you mean." I didn't hear him either; someone had to tell me.
15:30 - 15:32 Cheesecake doing T-pose
You mentioned Mudskipper didn't show up, I can't think of any MRCA ants that went to RCL. I know a few qualified too.
That JD was ridiculous
I love seeing cheesecakes journey even the lows
Still, you need to sharpen your driving skills and that will be what puts you on top.
I agree, you'll unfortunately see a bit more of that in the next video.
Cheesecake is like the lightweight carbide
Hey Alex, I want to build an ant weight robot, first of all I'm 11 years old and my name is not Kellie I'm using my mom's computer. I just want to make a good beginner wedge robot. I dream of making 2 wedges that flow the half pound rule but for now im going just build a beggenr wedge bot. I would like some tips on what parts i should buy, how i should build it but finally keep it somewhat cheap. Thank you
I started out by using the same electronics and motors as the Fingertech Viper kit, so that's definitely a good place for you to start too. I suggest you get the parts you know you'll need (drive motors, battery, power switch, wheels) and then designing your robot around those parts. It's a lot easier to get started once you have something physical to mentally ground yourself. Otherwise it's hard to know where to start and how big to make the robot. There's also a RUclips video series by team Witch Doctor which explains how to get started. It helped me a lot. ruclips.net/p/PL81yBUG7TPX3rRRStHBGLX0Rr2aaBqfFO&si=QRweSU0Kb9EAQAM_
If the floor was slippery enough for your wheels to free spin, that could also be draining your battery power
Although if you can dissolve it with lemon juice is it really food safe? 🙈
Fight with kids, and win. My hero! =)
Make a giant version of cheesecake
Why dont you use a brushless Motor with a bell. I dont think that sth without shaft can have a bend shaft
23:43 You turned into a vertical spinner by spinning horizontally your horizontal weapon bearing bot ahah
Like if you are a cheesecake fan!
new attachment could be called baby cake
The steel floor seems pretty nasty for cheesecake with how much force it throws into those walls.
Cheesecake(x) Wheelscake(√)
That hit so hard that it destroyed theism
How thick is the carbon fiber top/bottom? 1/8in?
It's about 1/16", 1.5 mm.
How's the beetle weight bot going
Slowly making progress! The belt-driven weapon needs some careful design work, but that's nearly done.
can someone explain to me the tap out i mean i understand that if you tap out you forfeit but why would you do that if you still have a chance to win????
Well, it depends how good of a chance you think you have. If it's a pretty low chance, and if you can still accept a loss without falling out of the tournament, then you might choose to tap out to avoid taking additional damage and being unable to repair your robot in time for the next fight.
@@alexsalchemy thx
Cheesecake vs Tiramisu? I call that the Battle of the Deserts' Sweet wits
Cheesecake - the tiny warrior!
How was old cheesecake bigger yet still weighed as much as new cheesecake which is smaller and has holes for weight reduction?
That's a good question! As you compete, you slowly learn how to redistribute your weight for better performance. Old Cheesecake had a lot more weight in the weapon and the black chassis plates, whereas new Cheesecake has relocated some of that weight into the battery and into attachments like The Sweet Tooth.
I am planning to try this with TPE FROM FILAMENTUM
hit every point perfectly
23:38 not working? wrestling it is
for the fight cheesecake vs vector, who was flippin playing pinball from a arcade place
