Designed and built an antweight vertical spinner battlebot
Developed two iterations (V1 and V2) to improve durability, balance, and serviceability
Integrated a high-speed spinner weapon system for impact-based combat
Built a compact drivetrain and chassis layout optimized for weight and reliability
Used custom 3D printed parts to mount and organize internal components
Battle Bot
Introduction
This project involved designing and building a competition-style antweight battlebot using custom mechanical and electronic systems. The goal was to gain hands-on experience in mechanical design, electronics integration, motor control, and iterative prototyping while developing a combat-ready robot.
