Bot Building Finishing up the CAD for my 3lb "Kestrel"

Almost done with the design, just a few tweaks and minor changes to make it slightly lighter and more intimidating. It's got a TPU chassis and side guards, with carbon fiber on the top and bottom, UHMW around the weapon, and titanium on the wedges. Pretty excited to get the design off the ground soon!

Bot Building Format idea: Create groups based on weapon type and have them battle it out to get to knockout stage.

Horizontal spinner, vertical spinner, Hammer type weapon, flipper. I'm sure I'm missing other groups but you get the point.

If the robots have to fight their own category first and then the winners move up into the knockout round. Then we have a diverse second stage of the competition and it guarantees variety which was lacking in the last tournament.

Does anyone remember the "GET OUT OF MY CAR!" guy? Someone told me he looks like Martin Mason and now I cant unsee it. 😭
