  • Battlebots Newsletter: Preparing for Competition March, 2021 As the Newest Design Team, Battlebots Has Never Competed Before
    Battlebots Newsletter: Preparing for Competition March, 2021 As the newest design team, Battlebots has never competed before. Our first competition would have been in March of 2020. However, COVID cancelled all of our events that year. With that being said, the team will be competing with two robots this year: the 15lb robot from 2020 and the 30lb robot from 2021. Students are excited to finally be able to see their robots compete at Bots KC in Kansas City, MO and Norwalk Havoc Robot League in Norwalk, CT. Navigating the logistics of traveling safely to competitions has been a challenge, but we are hopeful everything will work out. The state of what is safe nowadays is always changing and we want to make sure we take all the precautions necessary to compete responsibly. In February, the team performed construction on building a full scale testing enclosure for our robots. The former 12ft square arena has been extensively upgraded. Measuring a full 16ft by 16ft with 8ft ceiling it meets the size of competition standards and allows our team to test and practice safely on a regular basis. The expansion was a whole team effort to construct. We tore down the old enclosure and used its components within the new arena to save cost of the material and manufacturing time. Now that the new box is complete, the team will really be able to see what the robots are capable of on a larger scale. Our new 30lb robot has been named “Option 14”. Its name is somewhat of an inside joke on the team.

  • Battlebots® Team Builds Combat Robot with Studio System Parts
    BattleBots® team builds combat robot with Studio System parts Case study The saw-wielding, flame-throwing robot uses Studio System parts that can withstand the demanding environment of the battle arena and adhere to the competition's strict build timeline. BattleBots® is a televised robot combat tournament that challenges teams of engineers from all over the world to design, build, and control a robot—demonstrating creativity, engineering skills, strategy, and driving ability. Each robot must be no more than 250 lbs with at least one independently-powered weapon. Robots fight in a closed arena surrounded by bullet-proof glass, going head-to-head to avoid elimination and get closer to the championship title. When designing a robot, teams consider several factors that will determine its ability to beat the competition while withstanding various obstacles built into the arena. These considerations include: • weight • precision of motion • materials • controllability • impact resistance • effectiveness of its weaponry The design of each component is critical to the robot’s overall performance while the limited development timeline leaves little room for iteration. Comprised of MIT engineering students and graduates, Team SawBlaze is a Boston-based competitor whose robot’s weaponry includes a diamond abrasive rescue saw blade and flame- thrower. The blade is mounted to a controllable rotating arm that positions the saw at the front or back of the robot. This helps to stabilize the machine while enabling a bi-directional offensive. The flame-thrower emits green flames at 350°C in the direction of the saw’s target, delivering “slash and burn” blows to the opponent.
