Hello!

THis is my battlebot named Paradox. He has faced many other lego battlebots and defeated them all.
I have made a whole series of videos for this robot.

Below is the link to his playlist of all his videos.

One thing I have learned from these videos is... treads = MAJORLY BAD IDEA!!!!!

P.S. Singularity Mk II will be instrucablized soon, but the pictures may be cr**py since I have to use my webcam (my camera is out of bats, and my family goes through double-As VERY quickly), but sorry for the loooooooong wait :0

Was Paradox autonomous or RC controlled?
GATEBOYNXT (author) in reply to jmiesterAug 24, 2011. 5:41 PM
He was Rc controlled. Though i could make him automotous.
jmiester in reply to GATEBOYNXTAug 24, 2011. 9:49 PM
How did you RC him? And what technic set did you use?
GATEBOYNXT (author) in reply to jmiesterAug 25, 2011. 3:15 PM
i used Lego mindstorms NXT so i controlled him with a laptop which connected viaa bluetooth. Besides the 2 NXT sets used to make him, i used the motorized crane motorized hauler and buggy.

O, cause I'm trying to make a Paradox-like battle bot, but I don't know how to RC him...
jmiester in reply to jmiesterAug 25, 2011. 10:20 PM
I have now made... Singularity, battlebot 3084

AWESOME! What is he like? You can compare him to Paradox through his pictures and his videos.
jmiester in reply to GATEBOYNXTAug 26, 2011. 4:00 PM
I made an i'ble (sort of) for him. Check it out! He's only half the weight of Paradox thought, since I used only NXT parts...
GATEBOYNXT (author) in reply to jmiesterAug 27, 2011. 10:40 AM
I sure will! Thanx for subbing!

paradox has only three motors.

may i get to know the materials reqiured to build this battlebot and how is it is made.

i am a science student and i am very eager to make this battlebot and give your name in my school's science fair.

please help me as soon as possible.

waiting for your reply,
thank you.
GATEBOYNXT (author) in reply to pkothari2Jul 26, 2011. 8:32 PM
it used pieces from the technic hauler,motorized crane, nxt 2.0, and nxt 1.0
Paradox has two long gear-trains that powers the 6 wheels. 2-36 teeth gears, lots of 20 tooth gears and lots of 12 tooth gears.

It took me three to five hours to make paradox. Planning? I did not plan before him. I just built him and thought about it along the building process.

i am also a science student. You can call me by my youtube name: GATEBOYNXT

Thank You,
