Cheesecake strikes back! (Fall 2023 S.W.O.R.D.)
Ғылым және технология
Cheesecake is back! After a devastating loss to Mudskipper in our last tournament, Cheesecake has been rebuilt and is ready to keep fighting! Cheesecake is my 1lb "combat robot", a smaller version of the BattleBots you might have seen on TV, and this is our final tournament of 2023.

Event:

Rules:
sparc.tools/wordpress/wp-conte...
The tournament is a double elimination bracket. Each fight lasts 2 minutes. You win by disabling your opponent so they can no longer move. If your opponent cannot move, they will get counted out on a ten-second countdown. Even if they can only drive in circles, that is usually enough movement to avoid being counted out. If both robots are still moving at the end of the fight, then the winner is declared by a panel of judges, who score each robot on damage (done to the opponent) aggression (how much each robot initiates the engagements) and control (how much control you have over your own robot). Drivers are allowed to tap out at any time during the fight. Drivers may also request one "unstick" if their robot is stuck on the arena.

Favorite part is all the kids in the background completely enthralled. This is the type of thing that actually gets them interested in STEM

I’m more emotionally invested into the plights of little cheesecake than I’ve ever been in any mainstream battlebot. Great work and great video as always!

I completely agree. Alex does a great job telling the story of little Cheesecake too, I think that’s what seals the deal.

Yeah. Things tend to get samey the bigger they get. At a size this small, you have to get creative. Also i'm bored of seeing Appolo (from robot wars) and Tombstone (from battlebots) win like 90% of the time

@@nravenz7538 Yeah Apollo and Tombstone haven't won 90% of the time in a while.
I like the good sportsman comment immediately followed by cheese cake snapping the other robot in half
That pit is a vicious killer with no remorse. Great work on the build and great fighting!

Pit be like that,it helped me win fights but also cost me in the semis for beetles
The kids chanting for cheesecake in the first fight had more enthusiasm than any of the announcers
I love cheesecake. I think part of it is the name but most of it is how personal and genuine and simple your videos are. You're great. Thanks for the content
Finally found the time to watch your video. Oh my gosh, was it worth the wait!! The number of times I was up and out of my seat, the "Ooohs" and "Aaaahhs!" as Cheesecake got shoved around before the final cheer and "WTF!?" as the pit played by a huge part in the tournament. Thank you, I love this and eagerly await the next installment 👍
From randomly getting your previous videos in my recommends, I still can't believe how invested I am in cheesecake's journey.
Congratulations! And thank you for making these nice tournament dairies, I've really enjoyed watching them and hearing about all the tactics and excitement before, during and after the battles! Thanks again!
Good stuff Alex was cool to see cheesecake at sword,it was also cool being pit neighbors with ya that event,look forward to seeing what cheesecake does next year,helluva year for cheesecake! that final fight w temper was an absolutely insane ending,biggest plot twist
So happy for you, following cheesecake's development for so long
6:59 alex going CRAZY with the imovie transitions 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
I would seriously love to see an in-depth video into cheesecakes design and your thought process behind the decisions you made along the way. It would be incredibly helpful for people like me excited to join the sport and wanting design their own bot. Love your videos keep up the great work!
Your bot's mobility played a big part in the outcome, but really it came down to your piloting skills. You 100% deserve the win!
❤ congrats! You both showed so much effort with your piloting and builds! Hope to see more matches like these! While it's fun to watch cheesecake, just eat the competition. It's also nice to see the ingenuity that you need to whip out on the fly!❤
Not sure if its a thing yet, maybe add a switch to invert the controls incase you flip over so it still controls the same. Also maybe use a smaller curved piece of plastic on the side incase you dont use the big piece to safe weight, this doesnt have to be big or heavy just big enough so it isnt flat and doesnt have to function as armor.

Yes control inversion is easily programmed in any decent transmitter
I was throwing my arms up in the air with each strike ! That was some great fighting, gratz and cant wait for the next :)
The fights aren't boring or anything but by far the most entertaining is seeing everybody's design and how they're iteratively improving them.
I'm invested now. Cheesecake might lose battles, but he wins wars.
Was suggested this as i recently had the idea of building a bit and have been searching for relevant information. I appreciate the narration, simplicity of the explanations behind your strategy and behind your weapons design (i e older video with drag of weapon considerations). Best of luck out there !
Honey wake up, Cheesecake is back.
I'm glad Cheesecake got to eat some wheels. Temper is wild. I forgot it wasn't on wheels there for a bit.
Congrats on the win! Those were certainly some entertaining fights Cheesecake had.
Thank you so much for sharing! I automatically click these videos when I see them as they are some of the most enjoyable pieces of content on this platform for me. Great work! Go Cheesecake!
Cheesecake lives up to its name with the somewhat cheesy wins in the finals. That was an entertaining series of fights.
Wow - fantastic sportsmanship!
I love the commentary saying "idk if that's a better or worse posstion to be in"
Hooray for cheesecake!
i love your analysis before and after the match of the damage and strait
Moreee of this!!! Nice Vids. Thank you so much.
Whats funny is that cheesecake and shin kicker ends up in the same tournament would be funny if you saw him upgraded again
This is my new favorite video of 2023 i can't wait to see how Cheesecake evolves!
Great to see another tournament upload. Congrats!
Great video, they always entertain me every single time. Thanks for the content!
I have honestly enjoyed Watching Cheesecake in all of their fights. Looking forward to the future of Cheesecake.
Dom Toretto once said: "It doesn't matter if you win by knockout or by a lucky pit fall. A win is a win".
Congrats :) Been following cheescakes progress from the Uk and look forward to the updates :) He's like my little cousin abroad :p
Congratulations!! Big wins! Thanks for sharing. 🍻
You make great videos! That was awesome!! Congrats!
It's always a pleasure to find a video of yours in my subscriptions!
Cheesecake is the little robot that could!
I love watching the adventures of Cheesecake! Where are you and Cheesecake planning on going next? I would love to try to compete against you
I noticed that cheesecake moved faster. Congratulations!
Love the crowd reactions. Great bot too.
Those fights with temper were an emotional roller coaster
love your vids so much nice job on the tournament
congratulations!
It must feel so good to have the kids cheering on your bot :D
Ive been waiting for this moment so long, finally another video from cheesecake🎉🎉🎉
Congrats!
He's BACK!
Cheesecake is my favorite bot by far, thank you for this saga and for shining light on a niche weight class!
this is my favorite random youtube discovery of all time. i wish i had the time to do this too lol
This channel deserves more views
Cheesecake showing some real judo skills in those last 2 fights vs Temper
But that 2nd match between Cheesecake and Temper was absolutely awesome! It looked more like a martial arts and spiritualism rather than actual battle fight.
these videos honestly make my day
YEEEWWWWW CHEESCAKE !!! ya fuckn beauty !!! mate i'm smiling ear to ear at 2am in the morning down here in Australia. Awesome job Merry Christmas Champ and a Happy New Years can't wait for what the new year brings but best wishes and I'm here for it.
My headphones said battery low at 9:24 so he said “my next fight is against BaTerY LoW”
I was actually cheering and clapping as I was watching this! Awesome fights against awesome opponents and a very deserved win!
Lettttsssss goooooo Cheescake! Great job Alex! Both on your redesign and on this great video!
Great work! Congratulations :)
This is so great, because it's vastly safer and more accessible than 60-220lb categories. Not to mention that antweight, with the modern increases to power to weight ratio, better motors, and 3D printing, has really caught up to the first generation of full-size bot battles. Sure, a few of the original fights were crazy spectacles of devastation and power.
Sick!
The kids cheering "Cheesecake Cheesecake Cheesecake!!!" in the first match
I love Cheesecake. Congrats on the win!
Cheesecake and Temper are proving to be excellent rivals for eachother!

I feel like we're *both* fighting against chaos: every fight between Temper and Cheesecake has been nuts. Once either of us defeats the other in a normal, sane way, that'll be the start of our *true* 1:1 rivalry, haha.
Cheesecake and Mooncake are my favourite destructive things!
the final two fights were straight outta an anime.. GO CHEESECAKE
Dude, I'm invested in Cheesecake story now. I hope it gets to rematch the Mudskipper and beat it's ass. Can't wait for more videos.
Another awesome video. RoboMouse and Toothache will be waiting for you in the new year. Congrats Alex.
Always fun and relaxing to watch your videos. At the end, us clear that your were lucky to survive... But who cares? Shake made some cheese strategies (pun intended) so good job !
Congratulations on the win!
It was hilarious to see cheesecake drive on its side
I LOVE CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!! I was actually inspired by cheesecake's tournaments, that I have decided to build my own antweight!
Another great video. Good work Cheesecake!
I wish I had friends like you. You take a calm and collected view through a competition of chaos. I genuinely think my life would be better with more people like you in it.

I appreciate that. It's nice that, even though everyone tries hard to win, they're not exactly "tryhards" about it. You can probably find local tournaments to attend at RobotCombatEvents.com
The way cheesecake parried temper's attack in the rematch though
That final bout wasn't luck, don't sell your driving skills short. That little swerve at the last second juked temper into the box. Absolutely amazing driving skill there.
you might want to buy a lottery ticket while holding cheesecake with luck like that....
tombstone and mino design never go wrong
Happy to see Cheesecake make a comeback. Congrats on the win!
very nice
OMG NEW VIDEO I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH
Good job.
If cheesecake has a million fans, then I am one of them. If cheesecake has ten fans, then I am one of them. If cheesecake has only one fan then that is me. If cheesecake has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against cheesecake, then I am against the world. In all seriousness, great video as always. Excited to see what you bring to the ring next!
Big gg on you
I love these videos so much, are their any links to watch the full events?
Cheesecake temporarily became a luchador
Ah yes my favorit design black and white.
Lets go a new video!
Congratz Cheesefluke
You make great videos.
INSANE luck in those last 2
nice combat robot
I hope someone labeled the broom the un-stick
LETS GO NEW CHEESECAKE VIDEO
HOLY HYALUS DETRITUS, CHEESECAKE IS A LEGEND!!! Even though Temper got CC( Cheesecake's acronym), Cheesecake put Temper where he belongs. MAN! Three battles against Temper, and they all end in the pit! Cheesecake deserves a piece of art for this!!!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Alternate title: cheesecake loses its temper
