The Situation
Less of a situation honestly. Let's promote some internal research and development. +1
The battle robots team was created to introduce non-engineers to basic engineering concepts through hands-on mentoring and experience.
The Final Technology
Left-over materials were recycled from the Rival Road RC cars to combine with selective new robotics parts to create a differential wheeled robot. Bots bodies were then modeled in Fusion 360 and created through a combination of 3D printingand laser cut wood. The robots will compete in a Sonic inspired race to the death, where the winning team will decide the new challenge obstacle to add to the track.

The first race
The first race was largely a success. Modifications and improvements will be made to the bots for the upcoming rematch in a month. See some (very unprofessional) videos below or on our Vimeo channel:
