How to Build a Test Box: Construction and Safe Testing Guide for Combat Robots Team Just Cuz Robotics 2021-03-06 | OG Safety Vid: bit.ly/BotSafetyTest Box Bill of Materials: bit.ly/TestBoxBOMArming Switch Setup: http://bit.ly/ArmingVidBuilding combat robots can be dangerous. The robots themselves, particularly those with spinning kinetic energy storing weapons, are extremely destructive and powerful. They tend to easily lose control or experience rapid unscheduled disassembly, both in testing and during a fight. The best way to prevent injury or death is to always safely test robots that have spinning weapons inside an enclosure which completely eliminates a direct line of sight between the robot's spinning weapon, and any nearby soft fleshy humans. There are other ways to test safely, but a test box or arena is generally accepted as the safest. You can build this box for under $80 USD, which I am told is a lot less than the medical bills to replace a missing finger or eyeball. I am not claiming that my particular test box design is the 'best' or only solution that provides this level of safety, but having used it for over a year with robots that store as much kinetic energy as a fired 357 magnum round, and having said robots ram their spinners full force into the floor, walls and ceiling many times, I'm confident it will keep me safe. Given the recent rash of unsafe testing videos, and the fact that my last safety video was uploaded over a year ago to just 100 or so subscribers, I feel this topic is in need of a redux.

SUBTRACTION 3 Pound Combat Robot Reveal Team Just Cuz Robotics 2023-09-26 | SUBTRACTION is the newest combat robot from Team Just 'Cuz Robotics. SUBTRACTION will be competing at the NHRL September 30th 2023 tournament. SUBTRACTION is an evolution of Shameless Self Promotion, which had a top 8 finish at the 2023 National Havoc Robot League "Hot Bot Summer" event, and is the basis for the popular SSP 3lb Lifter Kit. The weapon system of SUBTRACTION consists of a completely custom mass manufacturable hubmotor called the JCR 4935 1000kV. If it works, this will become a drop-in weapon attachment for the SSP Kit, and will be open for use in any other custom-designed combat robot as well.The JCR 4935 1000kV motor has been built for combat from the ground up - everything about it is meant to withstand the immense forces that 3lb combat robots can dish out. The motor itself weighs around 205 grams and is 49mm in diameter and about 35.5mm tall. More details to follow in an upcoming deep dive video...JCR-4935 MOTORS ARE AVAILABLE!Many details are on the product page, please read carefully before asking questions here.bit.ly/4935-preorderIf you are interested in a preorder or beta testing this motor, please email us at team@justcuzrobotics.com!Just 'Cuz Robotics Website: justcuzrobotics.comJust 'Cuz Store: justcuzrobotics.com/shopSupport on Patreon! bit.ly/JCRPatreonTry PCBWay's CNC Machining or PCB Fab using this link for a $5 new user credit: bit.ly/PCBWayJustCuzInstagram: @JustCuzRoboticsinstagram.com/justcuzroboticsBloodsport Youtube Channelyoutube.com/c/bnsrobotics@bloodsport_battlebotinstagram.com/bloodsport_battlebot@retrograde_battlebotinstagram.com/retrograde_battlebotBloodsport/BnS Facebook Page:facebook.com/bnsrobotics#combatrobotics #beetleweightJJJreact.

Death Machines and Broken Dreams - Mini Mulcher MakerBattle Recap April 2023 Team Just Cuz Robotics 2023-05-14 | Mini Mulcher was taken out of pseudo-retirement to compete in the Maker Battles Hartford CT event in late April 2023. I simply grabbed it off the shelf and its bag of spares and showed up unannounced with basically no preparation whatsoever for this one. Did that lack of preparedness bite me or would Mini Mulcher prevail? Watch and find out!
