Hi Everyone. I'm a senior at the University of Cincinnati and my senior capstone project is competing in a Battlebots competition in the Spring of 2025. I have zero experience with Battlebots but always enjoyed watching it. I have made a questionnaire to try and get an idea of how I should go about designing my robot.

I would really appreciate some help. Thank you!

Good news for those who need something to help their boredom for waiting for a minor league to build up- I have a game that lets you customize bots and battle them you can follow this link or simply google the game to get info. Now, unluckily, due to its age we have certain limits and have to wait for (what I assume the actual new thing) robot arena 3.

Would anyone in Minnesota be interested in a mini battle bots league? If so what would you like to see for rules? I have never built one but I have done radio control for more than half my life and I always thought battle bots was out of my price range. That was till I saw these guys. I think it would be neat to have a 1 or 2lb mini league. That maybe met once a month. I would say anything is over a year out if anything happens, but anyone interested comment on thoughts for rules and regs to make it fun, creative, and safe. I am thinking along the line of First Robotics if anyone has been part of their high school program. Some regs would be like bot cannot exceed x lbs, must be within certain dimensions. I am not looking to limit batteries or motors though. but as a way to make this really grow I think it would be cool if the bot is self (not including the radio or receiver) had to be under less than so many dollars. say maybe 100-200$. that would help limit everything else and give us a level playing field. Even if it just turns out to be a few guys in a garage I am all for it. I know a few people her in the cities that may be interested as well. Lets get going guys and gals!

I am having trouble finding places in new york.

Hi i hope to see some good botfights here, or maybe a reddit based turnament, i hope that you guys will help make this a cool community, if /u/ora007 needs any help you need only ask.
