The motor shafts bent at the rear of the stator (left side of the photo), meaning that the top side of the rotor (which would normally be at the right side of the photo, just under the faceplate) was essentially traveling in an oval pattern. This shifted the motor’s rotating outer can inwards enough, on big hits, to strike the stator, causing the magnets to crack. Given the damage here, it was definitely striking with some force. Without the epoxy hardening, this likely would have pinched, grabbed, or otherwise cut the internal wires - thereby disabling the motor. This motor, and all the others, still worked! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/c2de8347-6efa-464c-b0e9-3620d62e4006/20221028_152001.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Witch Doctor - WCVII Fight #7 - Top 8! - Make it stand out The aftermath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/fc914277-1295-4969-9ff4-fd5f8c0efc4e/20221028_152006.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Witch Doctor - WCVII Fight #7 - Top 8! - Make it stand out Ultimately, the damage that won the fight happened here within the first 10 seconds.

Otherwise, this was a quick hit to the wheel from HUGE, which didn’t do much meaningful damage. Because the chain was ejected at speed, the disc stayed spinning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/2196da14-35bd-415e-9256-6525abfb6348/IMG_0457.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Skorpios - WCVII Fight #5 - Top 32! - Make it stand out Since Skorpios was already spun up to full speed when the chain ejected, they still had enough energy to run in and hit the other pole.

Destroying this wheel and drive assembly would end up locking Skorpios’ side of drive, and slowing them down enough for us to end the fight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/d3e8f0a9-aff8-45b5-bee3-3991534151f9/BB2022-Ep716-Skorpios-vs-Huge-_JB97237-45-SPOILER-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Skorpios - WCVII Fight #5 - Top 32! - Make it stand out The final hit of the match, once Skorpios began crab-walking and exposed their side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/99bb94ab-a3e3-4e9a-bd9d-fdd9734bb1e8/BB2022-Ep716-Skorpios-vs-Huge-_JB08522-46-SPOILER-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Skorpios - WCVII Fight #5 - Top 32! - Make it stand out With one side locked up and smoking, HUGE peeled open the top plate from the other side to finish off Skorpios for the KO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/8e82c264-da9f-4934-808c-7012bd1f6935/20221026_115118.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Skorpios - WCVII Fight #5 - Top 32! - Make it stand out This is where HUGE cut into Skorpios’ frame.

This locked up the gearbox, and ended up overloading and burning out the drive controller on that side. This was only possible because Skorpios’ wedge was tangled in our wheel, meaning that they couldn’t bounce away when hit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/db066dd6-3564-405c-8ea3-76c65de069a7/20221025_143500.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Skorpios - WCVII Fight #5 - Top 32! - Make it stand out For comparison, this is a normal hit to the wheel where Skorpios is free to bounce away.

It worked! This exchange took off the plastic guard on Starchild’s blade that prevents it from hitting the ground, serving largely to disable their weapon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/80e7834d-b9fb-4969-a725-705624119286/BB2022-Ep714-Starchild-vs-Huge-_JB04247-26-SPOILER-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Starchild - WCVII Fight #4 - Make it stand out We tried and tried and tried to get Starchild onto the upper deck!

Whoops. Well, I guess first hit’s free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/490f5bcd-ebaf-451a-b42f-1ba27ce7396b/BB2022-ep708-HUGE-vs-Fusion-photo-Daniel-Longmire-7570.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Fusion - WCVII Fight #3 - Make it stand out Soon after this hit, we countered quickly. First a hit to the side of Fusion that disabled a side of drive. Then a hit to throw them into the screws. At this point in the fight, I noticed that Fusion’s top plate was lifting, and it seemed to be slowing down quite a bit (stationary turning + no weapons).

This left the secondary plate underneath free to fall away. The main heavy top plate was rocketed into the ceiling of the arena. Left completely exposed and already very damaged, Fusion holds still to accept the countout and end the fight.

This is “galling”, when a solid bushing begins to deposit material onto the object that it is turning around. This failure brings a serious serious risk of locking up the weapon during the fight. We attributed this to the blade itself, which we noticed was slightly out-of-balance during a pre-fight test (but far too late to balance it). This high-frequency vibration, visible during the fight slow-mo even, would put a ton of extra load on our bearings. It took days to figure out how to remove the galling, which was an emergency for the team. We only had two central shafts to use for the entire season due to a manufacturing issue, so this left us with one remaining. We tried lathes, files, sandpaper, and buffing it off. But the final answer was a Harbor Freight 4.5” angle grinder polycarbide paint stripping disk (followed by polishing). Without more parts, this had to be used again, and we resolved to alternate shafts between fights, while also polishing after each fight. In addition, all bars would have to be balanced before running them in a fight. Thank you to Jackpot, Hijinx, and many others who helped us try to get this part repaired! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/e0ea8faf-6004-467a-9f3f-94bef1366d7a/20221019_183112.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Blip - WCVII Fight #2 - Make it stand out On to Blip, they had a fair number of new holes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/ecb55d50-358c-49ab-bda5-869f27ae0fcb/20221019_183127.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Blip - WCVII Fight #2 - Make it stand out As well as a missing fork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/da5f5acc-2576-43f5-8d1c-202dc36da4ba/20221019_183351.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Blip - WCVII Fight #2 - Make it stand out One cut went deep enough to strike an ESC, barely missing critical components which would have disabled one side of Blip’s drive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/90724055-7bba-4a1e-b083-28a408e44121/20221019_183144.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Blip - WCVII Fight #2 - Make it stand out And also sliced & cracked halfway through Blip’s armor skirt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/05f6c172-7f39-45bb-9451-eda240a41d2e/20221019_190228.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Blip - WCVII Fight #2 - Make it stand out Some days, it’s better to be lucky than good.

Both blocks contain 2 power switches (1 weapon and 1 drive, per side of HUGE). We utilized an upgraded smaller power switch, while orienting both switches for the wires to output in the same direction. This means that the switch block can sit against the edge of the frame rather than in the center, taking up far less space and giving us much cleaner wiring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/36c153b3-755a-4bb2-8be2-5a5fd0d98445/IMG_20221016_023135.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out So much space! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/5b538f73-4db6-4da5-bc85-325e16dfe5d9/Shatter+Config.JPG Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out Shatter’s configuration - Protecting the hammer pivot was a smart use of their extra weight, and forced us to adapt our strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/ccd41d16-ccf1-4de3-a7f4-903c82d3e15f/IMG_4638.JPG Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out “We’ve been growing these babies for years…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/4e381cbd-de3d-4581-8ba0-a717d329d273/20221018_201030.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out We started off on the back foot from the beginning, as Shatter outclassed our cart by a mile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/12f0ff35-3f3e-4852-9a2f-3515202c0015/BB2022-Ep701-Huge-vs-Shatter-_JB08452-93-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out Our first, immediate takeaway is that Shatter is WAY faster than past seasons. When I felt I had some space in the box and looked away from Shatter to spin up, they flew across the arena for a hit on our wheel, pushing us blade-first into the Upper Deck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/8d6b7e3c-9f18-4552-b20d-de9133cc4596/Shelf2.JPG Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out Luckily, HUGE hits pretty hard.

HUGE can sort of get back up when the pole is gone. It takes a lot more finesse - the poles are there to make it completely automatic (as well as controlling our gyro-dancing). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/e5ed11c9-e26b-4ea3-92d1-f82001277f41/BB2022-ep701-Shatter%21-vs-HUGE-photo-Daniel-Longmire-9254.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out After disabling Shatter’s hammer, they ended up stuck on the rail and counted out. From our vantage point, we didn’t know that they were stuck. I could see into the frame and see components bouncing around, but from above it’s hard to tell what angle the robot is sitting at. I could hear “It’s dead” from the Shatter team, and backed up to take the win. Turns out that just the hammer was dead, but ending here was better than withstanding a ton more damage in Fight #1. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/cbfa23ae-23aa-4356-a5e5-ef7f26873853/20221018_211628.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out Late in the fight, Shatter was able to strike one belt when their axe ended up crammed behind our blade. We’re lucky that it only damaged the one belt. The grooves on this pulley were filed back flush, and it was re-used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/1c38d80d-ceb8-4e91-80da-53ab4971bad9/20221018_211649.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out A deep groove on the upper angle, a bent chin-mount, a perfectly-cut-off eyebrow, and a slightly dented top plate were the worst of the damage to HUGE’s frame. Shatter’s ability to divot steel, with half a swing, at a funky angle, is very intimidating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/e3c359be-c5c7-4bdc-8d13-14d936ba5f40/IMG_20221021_141202.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out PINGG. We kind of expected these Titanium stabilizing poles to bend more before breaking. If you watch closely, you can see the pole roll over the killsaw slot, before getting gently pulled under into the abyss. We let the crew guys know about it, and it showed back up on out pit table about 2 days later. Thanks for finding it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/766be636-a404-465f-97a1-3f536967b080/20221018_210300.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out A lot of driving HUGE is adapting to the fight as it goes on, and changing strategy on the fly. We didn’t expect to cut all the way through the plastic & aluminum to peel up Shatter’s top plate from underneath. But once we saw it working, that quickly became the target. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/466751ea-8e62-464f-a570-961ae11b8b9e/20221018_210252.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out The front however was also not spared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/c0fe0edf-a587-4d19-985d-e16ea1465475/20221018_210240.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out In a remarkable twist, HUGE also removed the eyebrow from one of Shatter’s angry eyes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/42521657-96df-4d60-8050-7132a2935608/20221018_210231.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Shatter! - WCVII Fight #1 - Make it stand out While this isn’t the prettiest, the armor here did its job.

This is one of the diagonal uprights that provide sideways support to their weapon tower. This was from our final hit on Deep Six, which caused the weapon belts to come off of HUGE. The left side was attached to the driving base of the robot, and pushed back against Deep Six’s batteries. The right side was attached up near the weapon, and had to be chopped off the frame after the fight. Deep Six was gifted the ruined weapon pulley from HUGE, and went on to do an amazing job in this episode of Battlebots Champions. Truly a high note for the Deep Six team, now that they have transitioned into Triton. https://hugebattlebots.com/team-huge-battlebots-blog/huge-vs-uppercut-2021-fight-4-top-32 monthly 0.5 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/a5532c60-277f-46d2-b3b3-3c03ce545b7f/240875919_369236378024794_6145649162904146041_n.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Uppercut - 2021 Fight #4 - Top 32! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/2c43708d-bfab-475e-bc16-caaddc9d8c03/20210831_095350.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Uppercut - 2021 Fight #4 - Top 32! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/afad0001-35bc-4e1a-8571-308f1f47aa0c/20220319_141308.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Uppercut - 2021 Fight #4 - Top 32! - Make it stand out A close view of Uppercut’s hit under the chins.

This chopped the leg (note the blue paint), partially tore out the leg-mount, and twisted our frame. This would not have directly caused HUGE to split, but did weaken the structure. This was never an expected failure mode and is really only a result of the tougher legs; chopping off our legs against Malice did not cause this failure of the center-mounts. We have ideas to prevent this failure again in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/fe25ee66-0b98-45b1-93a4-eb30fe9ed7ac/20210830_233358.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Uppercut - 2021 Fight #4 - Top 32! - Make it stand out Leg mount partially torn from the frame https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/e98859bc-634d-4f3e-9ada-fc26976b8542/20210830_144934.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Uppercut - 2021 Fight #4 - Top 32! - Make it stand out Did we mention that Uppercut hits really really hard?

This was… not appreciated. And in hindsight, we should have pulled the robot out of the arena to check it. In the moment you’re just amped up to fight, which is probably why they jumped and why we opted to continue. We don’t think this affected HUGE negatively, but it could use more formalized rules in the future to encourage teams to check their robot. All’s fun and games until somebody “accidentally” jump starts in the Finals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/52f7173c-84fb-429c-aa48-1df97bcb1158/BB2021-Ep603-HUGE-vs-Riptide-26-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Riptide - 2021 Fight #1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/35d1c824-8ba2-459c-a876-5b4a33411109/BB2021-Ep603-HUGE-vs-Riptide-40-SPOILER-photographer-Jon-C-R-Bennett.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Riptide - 2021 Fight #1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/62c26435-41bb-4a58-994b-28fb283fc48c/BB2021-ep603-HUGE-vs-Riptide-2370-photography-Daniel-Longmire.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Riptide - 2021 Fight #1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/54c8f6f9-eb01-42fa-a701-8a114b744bcb/BB2021-ep603-HUGE-vs-Riptide-2377-photography-Daniel-Longmire.jpg Blog - HUGE vs. Riptide - 2021 Fight #1 - Make it stand out Note the pole jammed into the vertical wall.

Once the shell was locked, we were basically hitting in the same spots for the rest of the fight. We don’t know thicknesses but we know it’s all hardened steel.

We think this was the result of the last hit of the match, when we got up into the hammer mechanism. We didn’t realize we’d done anything to the mechanism until after the match, as the arm still worked perfectly fine. The other motor of theirs could power it through the gap in teeth.

Due to the manufacturing style of the weapon bulkheads, we needed to get a #8 screw to fit comfortably inside of a hole that couldn’t be smaller than 3/8”. Solution? Hammer a spacer into it, and countersink the spacer to accept the flat head screws. For the most part, this somehow worked, as the spacer jammed into place, locked in by the kerf of the cut on the main panel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/8b277eec-5774-4632-bc4a-ab3b2c2ca6b5/Mill+Tragedy.jpg Blog - HUGE Build Log - 2018 Season - Make it stand out Did I mention that we forgot to countersink any of it until the chassis halves were already fully welded together?

The material was so tough, we had to use a TIG torch turned all the way up to melt the steel a bit. This removed the hardening, allowing us to re-drill it to size and countersink. Without melting the metal first, our tooling had tons of trouble getting through this tough stuff! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d365e89644809000105ce08/27bfc56b-16cc-47b9-85e7-203112b4eb1a/First+Wheel.jpg Blog - HUGE Build Log - 2018 Season - Make it stand out This is our first wheel, with team captain Jonathan for scale.
