Event Summery
House
of Robotic Destruction, Fall 2007 was
held at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC) on Saturday
Nov. 3rd 2007. This event helped kick off CVCC’s new
robotics program. Students in this
program will be building ant weight robots for HORD Spring 2008. Several of these future robot builders
attended this event as spectators.
Eleven
teams brought a total of twenty robots; three
Flea Weights, eight Ant Weights, and nine Beetle weights. Teams came
from
across Ohio as well as Pennsylvania. Also, Team Danger came all
the way from Rushville Indiana;
and, Team Mechanical Advantage flew in all the way from Kansas.
The Flea Weights were dominated by Little
Buzz who managed four straight victories.
The Ant Weights were dominated by pushy bots
Dusty, the Evil Dustpan, and Heman I who took first and second place
respectfully. However, drum bot Big Buzz
scored several good hits as did the vertical spinning bar of Danger
Zone before
being knocked out of the tournament.
In the Beetle weight class, D2 tore a path of
destruction through the ranks with its 1lb spinning drum.
Along his way to the championship D2 cashed
with another drum bot, Rolling Pin, scoring a one hit victory that
nearly took
out both robots. D2 then
disarmed-literally-the
dual flipper robot Revenge of Dr Super Brain. Prior
to this, Revenge of Dr. Super Brain tossed The Box
around the
arena like a rag doll. The Doctor was
unable to pit The Box, but did win a decisive judges decision. The Box did manage to come back up through
the losers bracket to face D2, but was pummeled by the big drum of D2.
In rumble action, five ants (Heman I, Dusty,
the Evil Dustpan, The froogin, Jim, and Big Buzz.) fought tooth and
nail. In the end only Heman I was left
standing to
claim victory. Also, six beetle
(Sweaver, UpTech, D2, Rolling Pin, Tweedle Beetle, ChopChop) shook the
arena as
they clashed. Sweaver alone survived the
carnage and claim victory. The
ORC house bots (four heavy modified ant
sized battlebot toys) came out to play and give a few spectators a
chance to
test there skill as robot driving.
First
place drivers in each class received an
engraved aluminum trophy. Certificates
were give to the first and second place finishers in each class as well
as the
rumble winners. Several prizes donated
by our sponsors were also awarded to top finishers.
Dimension Engineering provided, a Sabertooth
dual 5A motor driver, a PicoSwitch, and an Easy Light.
Micro Bot Parts provided two micro
receivers. Also Servo Magazine donated
twenty four copies of their September issue to hand out to teams and
spectators.
The event was recorded by students of the
CVCC Audio and Visual program. They are
also producing a DVD which will be available some time in December. Copies can be obtained for a small fee. Interested parties should email ohiorobotclub@yahoo.com
for more information.
Orc would
like to thank all
of our parliaments, sponsors, and host for helping put on such a great
event. We hope to see you all again this
spring..
