BATTLE BOTS

This battling robot had many features innovative to the sport, including encoder-feedback speed control for acceleration and breaking, a leaf-spring suspension designed into its base-plate, and custom high-traction urethane wheels.

Its weapons were interchangeable, and featured a mace, a fork-lifter, and a bull-dozing plow.
