The world of combat robotics is a weird and wonderful one. Shows like Battlebots, Robot Wars, King of Bots and the like cant help but stir the imagination of viewers, both young and old.
It is a shame then, that building a fighting robot can be such a difficult thing to get into. Price, technical difficulty, safety and even space can all be extremely prohibitive to newcomers. This is where Science Salad’s DIY Battle Robot Kits step in.
Replacing the heavy metals with lightweight, laser-cut wood and complicated electronics with simple plug-and-play wires, the DIY Battle Robot Kits are designed to make building and playing fun, simple and safe.
Priced at £38/$60, each battle kit comes with all the parts and tools required to build a simple, functioning fighting robot. Each robot has been designed to be built without the need for any special power tools or glue. This allows users to make their robot, play with it and then deconstruct it again for storage.
The wooden weapons and small motors allow battles to be fun, without placing the users or spectators at any risk of injury.
