Battlebots

This is a fun one that is best experienced in video form. Talon (Mk.2), an Antweight full-combat class (any materials, weight limit 1lb), is a design of my own making that uses a wildly different (and novel) building philosophy centered around the use of friction fit rods.

Just like in F1, this is a Formula-style spec challenge of engineering prowess and driving skill. Everyone designs, builds, and then drives their own creations under a set of common rules and safety restrictions.
