Robo Combat (or Battle Bots) is a new project that is developing a 15lb tele-operated robot to compete against bots from other schools/robotics groups. We're aiming for the 15lb weight class (dogeweight) because we believe it's a good starting point to get our feet wet in the world of combat robotics. Our short term goal is to have a fully assembled and testable bot by the end of the 22-23 school year and to compete a few times before the end of 2023. Eventually, we'd like to develop the team's experience and expertise to the point where we can confidently build an exciting robot to enter into the Battle Bots TV show competition! We're currently a small team that has limited experience in the combat robotics field so we're very welcoming to new students who want to learn with us.

”We currently have pretty solid CAD and have most of the electrical system complete. We need to finalize the drive wheel mounting and weapon mounting, then we'll be ready to proceed into the manufaturing and testing phases of development.”
