A familiar face pops in to share some insights on building an AVC combat robot, Crippling Depression.
We are seven weeks out from SparkFun AVC 2018 and we’re starting to ramp up preparation for the event!
Introducing 60-pound combat bots, bringing back Logistics, plus a few other essential details.
Next Fall's AVC is starting to take shape. We've seen the future, and the future is... GOATS!
Thanks to some big bots, student teams and first-time competitors, we are now the third largest combat robotics tournament in the world!
With all the information needed to construct a combat bot, let's actually build one!
We have THREE TIMES as many combat bot teams registered as last year! This is great, but it means some changes.
We bring back Jamie to give us some design tips when creating a 3D-printed plastic ant bot.
