BEHOLD THE NEW AND IMPROVED FLUORINE!!! After several months of development and a week of the robot just refusing to work, I would like to proudly introduce the newest version of Fluorine's kinetic variant. Features: -Better weapon placement for increased stability and more optimal strikes against opponents -More powerful weapon motor for better hots in general -Longer and shorter chassis both for ease of putting the electronics in and so that it can still be effective while upside down -More vibrant color scheme Overall this is a lot better than the... previous iteration of Fluorine's spinner variant. I hope that it along with the wedge config will bring me great success in the antweight division. #robot #robotcombat #halogen #fluorine #spinner #destruction #custom #battlebots (at Gainesville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjooT5LbAp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well I went to the Florida State Fair Frenzy yesterday and ended up going 2-2 overall. Not exactly my best performance, but I was a good learning experience. Fluorine's new disc performed really well, causing some major damage to its opponents. Fluorine also ended the event in better shape than normal, I only had to replace the power switch and a gearbox. Everything else was fully functional after the event was over. Expect very few differences for the next iteration of Fluorine. #robotcombat #battlebots #halogen #fighting #chaos (at Florida State Fairgrounds) Fight Links https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUt6DKfV43okGbbXcvDzIuKY8d3xP4cOI https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3XiduLmg1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Went to a robot fighting competition, more deets here!



Hi everyone! I had some fun news to share. I appeared in a local magazine where I talked about my experience with BattleBots and robot combat! Figured I'd share the article here so you could read it if you like!

Hello all! Derin here with an update on Fluorine, my robot.
I've made a number of improvements to the robot recently
- A new weapon that weighs 125 grams, over a quarter of the total weight.
- A redesigned weapon frame that is a bit lighter and just looks better.
- A slightly modified chassis which fixes a small fitting issue with the frame not sitting "flush" with the top surface of the chassis.
- A redesigned top plate that gets rid of a structural weakness the old one had, namely the grills
I'm hoping these changes will allow Fluorine to perform even better at future events, and I look forward to testing them in Tallahassee in a few weeks!
That's all for now, keep being cool my Halogen Homies!
Thinking about that time that I invited a battle bots team to my birthday party and they said that if there was no scheduling conflict that they would show up.
YES
I love battle bots. You get violence and carnage without blood or actual injuries
Plus sparks literally fly and robots get launched into the air.
