Weaponized Plastic Bots
Description
Step into the world of combat robotics and build your own battle-ready bot from the ground up. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design, assemble, and prepare a small combat robot inspired by the Weaponized Plastic Fighting League (WPFL). Your robot will feature a 3D-printed chassis, drivetrain, and weapon system, powered by a microcontroller (ESP32-C3) that enables control via WiFi or Bluetooth. You’ll assemble all components, including light soldering on a custom PCB, and bring your robot to life. This class, and the companion SIG, emphasize practical engineering, iterative design, and learning by doing. Dedicated SIG sessions will focus on weapon design and fabrication, customization options, and troubleshooting, giving students the opportunity to experiment, refine strategy, and prepare for friendly competition. This workshop emphasizes practical, hands-on learning across mechanics, electronics, and embedded systems, and serves as an entry point into Asmbly’s Weaponized Plastic League, culminating in a live, bracket-style Battle Day tournament in an arena fabricated by Asmbly community members. *This is a 2 day class, 6-9pm on 4/22 and 4/23*
