D.I.Y. Design, build, and battle your veary own!
This is a tutorial on how you can make your own 3d printable combat robot using the CAD (computer aided design) Onshape ,
just like I did... not.
- research ideas for combat robots. If you are competing in competition be sure to read the manual.
Ideas:
- Somthing with a sharp spinner, or the whole robot could be spinning.
- A fliper.
- A wedge. Surprisingly effective!
These are some ideas you could try or not. You're probably more creative than me.
- Next buy some electronics such as: motors, servos, remote controller Parts, lights, wires, and whatever else you think you would need. I used Cyberbrick electronics which are very heavy, but I recommend using lighter parts if you have a 150 G weight limit.
- Learn how to use Onshape, or become friends with someone else who is very good at it; Unless you are using a different CAD, in which case make sure you are very good at that.
- Now you may begin to designing it, have fun I guess. A few steps later...
- Optional: at this point you may give up on designing your own, and use a pre-made one found somewhere on the internet.
