High-Impact Combat BattleBot
A heavy-duty combat robot with an armor-plated chassis, high-torque dual H-bridge differential drive, and high-RPM active kinetic weapon spinner.
BattleBot combat chassis & drive motor assembly
Overview
Engineered for inter-collegiate robotics combat, this BattleBot features a steel-reinforced aluminum chassis, shock-isolated motor mounts, and a 2.4GHz wireless control link. Powered by 3S/4S LiPo batteries and high-current ESCs, it withstands high-G collisions while maintaining rapid maneuverability.
Highlights
- Steel-reinforced shock-isolated armor chassis
- High-torque 4WD DC motor differential drive train
- High-RPM active kinetic weapon motor subsystem
- 2.4GHz low-latency wireless remote control receiver
The Challenge
Preventing internal battery connection disconnects during high-velocity collisions required custom TPU rubber shock dampeners.
The Outcome
Successfully competed in regional robotics arena matches, demonstrating zero power losses during heavy impacts.

Bionic RoboticsArticulated Bionic Robotic Hand
A 5-finger bio-inspired articulated robotic hand driven by tendon cable lines and micro servos for dexterous grasping and tactile sensor experimentation.
Why we built this
Commercial prosthetic research hands cost thousands of dollars; we created a fully 3D-printable bionic hand so students can explore prosthetic control and bio-mechanics.

Power ElectronicsDC to DC Booster Converter
A high-efficiency DC-DC step-up boost converter engineered for stable voltage stepping, closed-loop PWM regulation, and reliable power delivery in mobile robotic systems.
Why we built this
Voltage sag and brownouts frequently reset student microcontrollers during heavy motor loads; we engineered an affordable, robust DC boost converter module.
