Combat Robotics on a budget
Cost is often the biggest barrier to entry for people who want to try out the sport of combat robotics. As an experiment I tried to build these robots as cheaply as possible. I mostly made these robots as content for my Youtube channel, and just to see if I could.
Hades is a 3lb combat robot that I built in 2 days and with access to few tools.
This robot was built for under 50 dollars with mostly Aliexpress parts.
This robot was a test for an event where people would build combat robots with foam core and hot glue.
