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?

Aug 24, 2011. 5:41 PMGATEBOYNXT (author) says:

He was Rc controlled. Though i could make him automotous.

Aug 24, 2011. 9:49 PMjmiester says:

How did you RC him? And what technic set did you use?

Aug 25, 2011. 3:15 PMGATEBOYNXT (author) says:

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.

Aug 24, 2011. 7:47 PMjmiester says:

O, cause I'm trying to make a Paradox-like battle bot, but I don't know how to RC him...

Aug 25, 2011. 10:20 PMjmiester says:

I have now made... Singularity, battlebot 3084

Aug 26, 2011. 11:46 AMGATEBOYNXT (author) says:

AWESOME! What is he like? You can compare him to Paradox through his pictures and his videos.

Aug 26, 2011. 4:00 PMjmiester says:

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...

Aug 27, 2011. 10:40 AMGATEBOYNXT (author) says:

I sure will! Thanx for subbing!

paradox has only three motors.

Aug 28, 2011. 10:48 AMjmiester says:

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.

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,
