(What is BattleBots? - here is a sample video below of the championships from last year)
So, aside from my IR remote-controlled car horn/siren project, about which I posted a couple sample videos previously, I have undertaken a new project recently: building an air vehicle for the hit robot fighting TV series, BattleBots, which will be hosted by ABC this year. You can see a sample episode above, which is the final championship fight from BattleBots 2015. I was not a part of that event. For BattleBots 2016, however, I will be participating by building a secondary, fighting drone/air vehicle which will fly and shoot fire.
(see some of my preliminary flamethrowing trials below)
I have posted a few sample videos and photos throughout the build process, and will continue to do so, as will other members of our team Caustic Creations.
