BUILD REPORT:
● by Michael Jeffries
Testing the Prototype: Klazo —
My 1 lb Drumbot From Kitbots.com
Irecently built and tested one of the prototype 1 lb drumbot kits
from Kitbots.com as part of the
development process, prior to the
kit moving to production. At the
beginning of the build, I received
the fully assembled chassis along
with four kit gearmotors that
formed the basis of this build.
The chassis is a combination of
UHMW plastic, aluminum, and
the Kitbots product Nutstrip —
much like the Weta and Trilobite
kits. The design of the chassis
closely resembles Weta, however,
there is an important difference in

chassis of the kit as
it arrived for testing.
