Educational Battle Bots

Uploaded the 3D print obj files for the main bot body (side walls, bottom plate, top plate, front/back plates). Holes are in the exact positions needed to attach L brackets for assembly. We will upload a 3D print file for L brackets soon along with illustrated instructions.

Next up is creating the 1st extension piece that will go on the front of the bot. We plan to create 3 of these (typical slant piece, spinner piece, flipper piece).

We are also working on illustrations for creating all of these pieces with coroplast or cardboard for those who don't have the ability to 3D print.

We are now working on a standard body that we can add different attachments to. This will allow for students to expand on the standard body making different types of battle bots. This will also allow for more creative freedom vs. 3 set battle bot designs because students can expand upon the standard body with our designed parts or they can design their own.

We have come up with a simple body style that can easily be assembled with 3D printed L brackets. We are now experimenting with different body sizes and thickness to determine what works best.

The body design for the 1st battle bot kit is being worked on. It has taken a few prints thus far and lots of tweaks but it's getting closer. The challenge is to have the same designs being able to be created with coroplast or cardboard for those who want to save on costs or don't have access to a 3D printer.

I want to make sure these kits can be affordable enough for educators to bring into the classroom, so it is really important for me to keep costs in mind.

I will have pics to share soon.
