BIG ROBOT BATTLE CONTEST - Engineering and programming challenge

[Rayjunx]

Hi!

 

Together with friends I started a robot battle contest in which we use LEGO RC robots to battle inside a destructible city We want to make a big show out of it and record it as video ^^

 

The robots have high power motors and we control them with a 2.4ghz system. So we can use more tanks and robots the same time in missions and races etc. And everything already work. But we also plan autonomous working rescue drones and robots, flying LEGO copters and much more. For building the drones we going to use LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, and even give building sets away to students and interested builders depending to the kickstarted budget reached.

 

We already have a prototype running which we show in this video:

(fundraiser link removed by moderator)

 

And we give away flyers and poster for free as long as we still have some ;-)

The Kickstarter page starts already next wednesday.

 

Hope to get your feedback,

Rayjunx and the roboter nerd team ^^
