My Project

My students love all things Battle Bots. They love to watch them on TV, watch them fight live, and most importantly, watch them take shape! My students participate in an annual combat robotics competition and often need new parts each year because of the destruction that takes place at the annual event. This year is no different as a multitude of parts were destroyed in our battle bot.

While the metal frame of the bot was salvageable, we need to replace quite a few electronic components of our bot.

These parts are not only very expensive, but rather fragile, so it is no surprise that we are replacing them nearly year after the competitions!
