Our custom-designed PCBs for Aegis do incorporate lots of Samtec manufactured components. They helped us with the aesthetic design of Aegis and helped to support us financially. Samtec has given us access to the Maker13 workspace and donated a lot of electronic components. BattleBots is in no way a profitable as most teams end up in the red. MB: What roles do sponsors like Samtec play in the bot-building process?ĪG: I’m not sure it would have been possible for our team to build Aegis and compete if it weren’t for sponsors like Samtec, Fibre Glast, WCI and Owings Patterns. You never know what an innovative team may bring to a fight! Of course, there are many combinations of weapons bots can have: flying drones to distract the opponent, multibot setups, flamethrowers, etc.! Plus, there are weapon types I didn’t even mention here. Finally, flipper bots (my biased personal favorite!) throw the opponent out of the arena or high in the air to cause substantial damage on impact. Other heavier bots use stationary spinning weapons to transfer as much destructive energy to their opponent as possible. Some bots will have overhead weapons like hammers, spear, or spinning disc. You’ll find bots using wedges, lifters, or grabbers to maintain control of the fights while using their opponents’ weapons against them. No acid, napalm, high explosives, EMP’s, smoke screens, or entanglement devices are allowed. Key design concerns are participant safety and maintaining BattleBox integrity. Matt Burns: Briefly, what are some of the other more popular styles or designs of BattleBots?Īndrew Godfrey: I love how open the BattleBots rules are.
