Combat Robot

One of my favorite TV shows growing up as a kid was the show Battlebots. I have always been inspired by these impressive 250lb robots fighting to the death in a bulletproof glass cage. It wasn't until recently that I was given the opportunity to design, build and compete in a smaller beetle weight competition with a weight restriction was 3lb. In only a few months time, I built my first combat robot, Viper, and participated in the competition. I learned quite a bit from the competition as to what works and what doesn’t and I look forward to more events in the future where I can refine my robot to be a strong contender.
