12:56 I love how the gyro effect from the weapon prevents cheesecake from flipping over despite being tossed high up in the air. it’s such a beautiful wobble!
It is kinda cool that you have this little rivalry with that Dulce robot, and that its got to a point where they made an attachment just to deal with your sweet tooth, some nice competitiveness. Look forward to future content.
I was about to comment this, but you beat me to it. Yeah it’s kinda funny if you became enough of a menace to one bot that they had built an attachment just for you.
Hello everyone! Some notes: 1. The more I review the footage, the more I think I should have called my own battery out even though the referee did not. 2. My driving is indeed noticeably worse than my last tournament. 3. My battle-hardened motors worked extremely well, and I never had one die, so I forgot to even mention them later on. Isn't it nice when things just work?
ok im not a expert on these bot tournaments. heck this is the only fights I've looked at in a long time. but. its not your fault your bot wasn't called out bcs of the battery rule thing. but to me it looked fine. to me the one guy that you knocked out you literally had exposed his battery. yours wasn't exposed it was still in its casing. ive played sports all my life and sometimes people just get away with things. rather it be an accident something happened or intended. you did great and your bot performed well. the judges are thier to call the fight if they see a issue and they didn't see any issue.
You honestly inspire me to do what I was planning on doing for years, but was lazy/scared to do. You seem to have so much fun fixing problems that appear and then trying out the design to figure out what else you could improve
I love seeing how well the sweet tooth is working. A seemingly minor addition to a bot has completely alleviated some of the trouble you had with wedge-bots by flipping them on to their roof. Amazing!
You're absolutely right, I feel like this was the missing piece to make Cheesecake a serious contender. Now I just have to figure out how to fight undercutters 0_o I have a couple ideas, you might see one in my next tournament ;)
Nice! I don't think you should've called out your own battery being exposed, it was still fully protected in the bot (just some extra ventilation, but the top and bottom were still extending over it) and with the other bot weapon being disabled there was very little chance of the battery getting hit. The battery rule is there primarily so the organizers don't have to deal (as much) with lipo fires and is only really applicable when the battery is fully exposed outside the bot so it could get damaged in a collision between the bots, or exposed enough that a weapon could easily hit it, neither was the case here. I think if the opponent had a big pointy spike on the front it would've been different.
As a former tournament admin both in fun local events and larger major video game events, if you get double jeopardy like with lowbot you shouldn't feel bad about speaking up to whoever made the bracket. When a bracket is drafted it shouldn't result in facing someone twice without rounds in between, or at the end of the bracket. If your goal is fun and to improve your robot, this means you face less unique opponents. If your goal is to win, this can be very bad if someone gets the same bad matchup twice. In almost every instance that's either a mistake, or an admin just didn't think about it being a potential problem. It's more fun and more fair for everyone if you let admins know when it happens.
Cheesecake is a beast! Definitely makes me want to try building a bot of my own. These tournaments bring me back to my childhood watching battle bots 😸 very cool
Agreed, although I used to watch a similar show called Robot Wars. The series is, as far as I know, no longer airing however battles are still taking place
This takes me back to filming the robotic combat fights at DragonCon about 15 years ago. The little ones are so fun. But I have to say, y'all look a lot more agile than what they drove back then.
I really enjoy these videos. It's action-packed and educational packed into a nice story. Videos aren't too long or too short either. Thank you for making these.
Great video, your commentary and analysis are great as are your editing and focus on key moments within each fight. It's always a delight to see your tournament footage.
i wonder if the white bits of armor are hollow on cheesecake? maybe having lattice or some sort of honeycomb in there would give you more armor and a larger surface area of defence for weapons like what cheesecake has.
Oh yes, the white armor is 3D printed. The sides are TPU with 10% infill, and the back is ABS with 10% infill, so they have a 3D honeycomb structure inside, and you can kind of see it in the damage I sustain.
I LOVE, the content you provide, hope to see more carnage from Cheesecake! How did the battle hardening the motors went I see you haven't mentioned it so it went good. If I were you I would make a tiny compartments for the battery and other components so even if they were exposed they would stay put safe inside as far away from the enemy as posible, and not get yeted around while in the air.
Oh yeah! My weapon motors never died, even after one of them got hit by Under Construction, so that's a success! I totally forgot to mention that because they just worked, haha.
Love these little videos, though for some reason I've got the Homer Simpson's "mmm... cheesecake... nomnom" thoughts every time you start explaining anything XD
Great battles from Cheesecake. I would like to see it compete in future Motorama events. It would have a very good chance walking away with the antweight title.
I just love this, dude The vibe, the bot, the name, the narration This is an amazing and entertaining way of showing us this hobby and the fights You deserve a lot more popularity and i can’t wait until the next video
Great driving paired with stellar engineering. It's a beauty to see. I love how the design plays into your strengths as a driver. Durable enough to survive a couple of hits, but not a tank. Weapon specialized at ripping off wheels when the opportunity presents itself, but not so heavy as to compromise speed.
Love these video's and i love cheesecake even tho i literally just discovered the channel yestetday ive already watched the entire back catalog! Cant wait for more cheesecake action!
Congratulations Cheesecake!! That was an epic tournament. It would be good to see some of the other matches to see how much diff that exposed battery might have made to the outcome. But it was still behind the weapon right? So not fully exposed. I think you deserved the win. Despite the drunk driving! "I swear officer! That wall just jumped out in front of me!" 😂
Seriously great work, Alex. You definitely deserved the win. I'm a mechanical engineer who loves to race my NC miata in regional autocross events. Similarly to robot combat, a significant part of the success is in all the preparation. The actual driving is only 50-60% of the equation.
Oh that's cool! I'm actually also a mechanical engineer, and you're right about these types of events coming down to roughly half driving and half engineering.
Man you have a similar cadence in your voice to lockpickinglawyer that makes these vids kinda mesmerising 😄 but seriously good work, go team Cheesecake!
Thank you so much! I enjoy telling the story and getting other people interested! Feel free to share with your friends, it's a fun sport that most people can get their heads around fairly quickly.
I love your videos, and I just love cheesecake when ever I see your videos my mind just want me to create battlebots thack you so much for inspiring me and others. 🤩

I've thought about it, but in my opinion, kit robots should not be so good that they can easily win tournaments right out of the box: they should be more of an entry point for people to learn how to drive and how to improve a design.
@alexsalchemy What's so amazing in my eyes is that the driver of dulche is a young man who looks to be no older then about 12 or 13. That boy definitely has got some skill! And being that young it means he's really just getting started in the sport, and I can only imagine what he may come up with next!! Id say keep an eye on him cuz hes gonna go far+ & his driving skills are without a doubt top notch!!! Its Just crazy to me how young he is! He's definitely a badass!! And has 100% earned my vote as best up incoming antbot pilot!!!
Against an undercutter something that might work is to simply take your basic sweet tooth design and put a bit of a chamfered cup/puck on the front, forcing the opponent's blade downwards underneath your front frame assembly and then raising your weapon right up into the front face of their robot. If you can smack them in the face before they can smack you in the tire you can (theoretically) come out better in that engagement since they physically cannot hit you from the front.
So, I've been binge watching robot battling videos, and my brain came up with a concept. Let's say, I dunno, a fae or something of that size created a robot for tournaments that has a cockpit on top, so they can directly operate it. Let's assume there's magic so that the cockpit itself is practically indestructible, the pilot is safe. Would that still be allowed, if it was confirmed the pilot would be fine? And if so, what kind of advantages and disadvantages might it bring? For visualisation, I'm imagining like, a little glass dome on top of the robot. Assume it's designed after Cheesecake if the type of robot is too big of a factor to say otherwise.
It'll be even cooler when Cheesecake still beats them ;) And to be fair, The Sweet Tooth was originally made just for Dulce de Lucha, so it's my fault the violence is escalating, haha.
@@Freegrem - Oh yeah, but they knew that already: they took first place twice in a row at some previous tournaments, so they had a big target on their back.
As someone who messes with 3d printing more than I would care to admit, I suggest doing some experimenting with certain filaments, particularly the carbon fiber infused filaments and maybe even flexible filaments to deflect kinetic energy.
in defense of your battery, if I were the ref, and believed both weapons were no longer functional as you had shut yours off, I would not have called that a 'battery out' KO. It was still inside the bot behind the weapon and there was no immediate danger of it being hit or coming out more with neither weapon spinning. if you had kept spinning the weapon and I had seen where the battery was I'd have called it. I don't know if the ref there was following this logic, but shutting the weapon off before the ref saw the battery may have won you the match.
Under Consruction (UC) attacks! 7:22 UC gets flipped while getting damaged 7:34 weapon to weapon, did a crit to cheesecake's weapon and made UC's weapon not working 7:52 grabs cheesecake 8:38 cheesecake pov: im outta here 8:56 surprise attack, cheesecake pov: OW ;c Aftermatch: cheesecake: can you please gimme a break plz?
I love the idea of the sweet tooth and was wondering if it would be possible to put one on both the top and bottom of Cheesecake, in case you get flipped over, which would disable the sweet tooth.
I've thought about doing exactly that. I'd have to take some weight out of somewhere else, but it's a good idea. For now, I figure I'll just hit my opponent's wedge to flip myself back over if necessary... wish me luck lol.
Electrical weapons are not allowed, along with radio jammers and EMPs and entanglement devices like nets. It's kind of like how boxers are not allowed to use poison: it wouldn't be very entertaining... or, you know, ethical.
These "antweight" robots are limited to 1 lb or 454 grams. The next largest weight class is "beetleweight" which is 3lbs, with the next most common classes being 12 lbs and 30 lbs. The BattleBots TV show robots weigh 250 lbs. sparc.tools/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/SPARC_Robot_Construction_Specifications_v1.3.pdf
It's already become giant from my perspective. I never expected this channel to blow up the way it has over the past week or so, but thank you for your support!
I mean, it makes sense that if they seed based on performance, and you did the best and by extension he did the worst that y'all yould rematch as the top/bottom seeds, but in that specific scenario I think it is more fun, interesting, and beneficial for everyone involved for the losers seed to be adjusted slightly to prevent the round 1 rematch.
A wedge bot is unlikely to knock out their opponent, so they usually win by judge's decision. Most events are judged in three categories like the TV show: damage to your opponent, aggression initiating the engagements, and control over your robot. As long as a wedge bot doesn't take too much damage, they can usually win on aggression and control by pushing their opponent around the arena, and possibly by breaking their opponent's weapon.
have u tried using ptfe domes on both sides of the motor screws so it protects the screws and deacreases friction and stop it from getting snagged on the floor with the screws ?
@@alexsalchemy countersunk screws may be more of a problem due to making the carbon more thinner especially if u put it into the weapon area unless u beef up the lower plate or make a brass shimm to stop the carbon from twisting but would need testing tbh
Well, wedges can't inflict damage directly, but they can use your own weapon's energy against you by surviving your attacks and waiting for you to break yourself. They can also dominate in their aggression and control, which are the other two categories the judges score on apart from damage, if the match goes to full time and becomes a judge's decision. Wedges are especially scary for horizontal spinners because the wedge deflects the horizontal spinner up and away and the wedge takes very little if any damage in the process.
if you can, or can not I have an idea for the next weapon you should add on the cheesecake so the weapon should be a vertical saw next to the sweet tooth on both sides so the special attachment next time if you meet the other, bot he won’t be able to use it good anymore
Nope, they're the same M2 holes as before, not modified by me, but I'm using some countersunk screws from McMaster whose heads are small enough to fit next to the central shaft, despite how close the M2 holes are to said shaft.
@@alexsalchemy thank you so much for the reply! Is there any chance you can share a link to the screws that you used or possibly a part number for McMaster? I'm very interested as I'm building my own weapon system for a horizontal spinner but using the same motor. Thanks again!
Well, one of the things that makes vertical spinners so dangerous is that they get to push off the floor. I've thought about doing the same thing but horizontally, pushing off the walls. Unfortunately, this would require me to stay by the walls, and I would lose the match for failing to engage with my opponent. The walls only exist on the edges of the arena, but the floor exists everywhere, so vertical spinners get that advantage of being able to push off of something no matter where they are.
Love to see how shrapnel and damaged parts are shared among each other in the combat robot community. It's a good way to help the combat robots grow.
You own, what you kill😎
Make a bot that glues the small parts to itself every time it wins. Call it “battlescar”
@eeveethingys4576 I feel like over time, that might cause it to exceed the robots' weight limits lol
12:56 I love how the gyro effect from the weapon prevents cheesecake from flipping over despite being tossed high up in the air. it’s such a beautiful wobble!

You're absolutely right, motors and batteries have come a long way since the early 2000s, and it's made all levels of competition so much more fun.
Isn't it a great feeling when your opponent designs a weapon specifically to handle you. 🙃
I really enjoy these videos. It's action-packed and educational packed into a nice story. Videos aren't too long or too short either. Thank you for making these.
the gyroscopic effects while flying through the air after the hit at 12:20 were amazing
Enemy bot: has wheels
Cheesecake: is for me?
when your opponents specifically make attachments against your bot specifically, that means you have a op bot.
You are criminally underrated 😢. Your videos are amazing!

I mean, it makes sense that if they seed based on performance, and you did the best and by extension he did the worst that y'all yould rematch as the top/bottom seeds, but in that specific scenario I think it is more fun, interesting, and beneficial for everyone involved for the losers seed to be adjusted slightly to prevent the round 1 rematch.
i am loveing this
🎉 WOOOOOO CHEESECAKE! He's awesome 🎉
I don't know the rules of the game but it seems appropriate to burn the electronic component with an electric baton
"wasn't my fault, they put a wall in my way"
It's been a long time but is the Caboose from RvB?
As the world's tallest human looked on.
what if you made a little sheild for your wepon that goes on the bottom and you called it cheese cake jr
Congratulations.
Cheesecake is a BEAST
how do wedge bots win competitions? I don't know a lot about the hobby/sport and have been quite curious for some time now.
A wedge bot is unlikely to knock out their opponent, so they usually win by judge's decision. Most events are judged in three categories like the TV show: damage to your opponent, aggression initiating the engagements, and control over your robot. As long as a wedge bot doesn't take too much damage, they can usually win on aggression and control by pushing their opponent around the arena, and possibly by breaking their opponent's weapon.
have u tried using ptfe domes on both sides of the motor screws so it protects the screws and deacreases friction and stop it from getting snagged on the floor with the screws ?
I'm probably just going to use countersunk screws instead: nice and flush with my black chassis plates.
@@alexsalchemy countersunk screws may be more of a problem due to making the carbon more thinner especially if u put it into the weapon area unless u beef up the lower plate or make a brass shimm to stop the carbon from twisting but would need testing tbh
I dont know a lot about battle bots, what is the means of attack of wedges and why are they scary?
Well, wedges can't inflict damage directly, but they can use your own weapon's energy against you by surviving your attacks and waiting for you to break yourself. They can also dominate in their aggression and control, which are the other two categories the judges score on apart from damage, if the match goes to full time and becomes a judge's decision.
Wedges are especially scary for horizontal spinners because the wedge deflects the horizontal spinner up and away and the wedge takes very little if any damage in the process.
if you can, or can not I have an idea for the next weapon you should add on the cheesecake so the weapon should be a vertical saw next to the sweet tooth on both sides so the special attachment next time if you meet the other, bot he won’t be able to use it good anymore
Is there any community engaging in this hobby in Germany? Sounds fun!
There is a group in Sweden, but I don't know about Germany.

You should just test the special attachment ahead of time to learn what you can change.
00:50 did you modify your motors top screw holes for bigger screws? what did you use? M2 or M2.5?
Nope, they're the same M2 holes as before, not modified by me, but I'm using some countersunk screws from McMaster whose heads are small enough to fit next to the central shaft, despite how close the M2 holes are to said shaft.
@@alexsalchemy thank you so much for the reply! Is there any chance you can share a link to the screws that you used or possibly a part number for McMaster? I'm very interested as I'm building my own weapon system for a horizontal spinner but using the same motor. Thanks again!
What if you try to use the wall to launch Cheesecake into your
enemies
Well, one of the things that makes vertical spinners so dangerous is that they get to push off the floor. I've thought about doing the same thing but horizontally, pushing off the walls. Unfortunately, this would require me to stay by the walls, and I would lose the match for failing to engage with my opponent. The walls only exist on the edges of the arena, but the floor exists everywhere, so vertical spinners get that advantage of being able to push off of something no matter where they are.
