Battlebot Finished!

It's finished! Despite the slow speed, motor breaking drivetrain, and oh so weak flipper, the robot is done. Probably going to loose the fight, but it will be fun.

Battlebot Pneumatic Setup

Finally got the regulator in the other day. Tested it with the solenoid and actuating cylinder, everything is working great! Now to figure out how to shove it in the small chassis.

Battlebot Redesign

After going to the NERC competition at the Franklin institute in Philly I discovered my current design might get disqualified for running an unregulated pneumatic setup. So I added a regulator and now I'm over the weight limit. So I redesigned the frame and made everything more compact.

Battlebot Updates

Finalizing the bot design and figuring out if the pneumatic system will really work. However after doing all of this I figured out it would cost around $450 on top of the $50+ I have already spent. Not sure if I'm ready to commit to that. I fear the robot is to fragile and some 10 yr old with a steel spiny disk bot would trash my bot in a matter of minutes.
