What is combat robotics?
Combat robotics is a hobby for all ages where builders compete to destroy their opponents' robots. Builders create unique designs with the goal of both having the most destructive weapon and being the best at withstanding attacks. Combat robotics is best known from the TV show Battlebots.
How to get involved
Combat robotics is one of the most accessible ways to get into robotics. With a few electronics, some 3D printed parts, and a little know how, you can create you very own competition ready bot. Check out the resources on getting started below or stop by one of our robotics meet ups to get in person pointers from long time competitors!
