BUILD REP RT
Mr. Self Destruct
● by Mike Jeffries
Mr. Self Destruct is a complete overhaul of
my first large combat robot: a
60 lb angled bar spinner that
fought at RoboGames in
2006. The new design uses
lightweight materials and new
battery technology to take the
weapon from a 52. 5 lb robot
and bring it below 30 lbs while
increasing the reliability of the
drive system and maintaining a
powerful weapon system.
The intent of this design is to
either win decisively or lose
spectacularly. SV
