There are two fairy-ant-beetleweight competitions coming up in southwest florida - BARF (bay area robot fights) in tampa 6/20 and GCRS (gulf coast robot sports) 7/11 at hobby marketplace in bradenton. So, I am designing a bot (as is my father) to build and bring to compete with.
So far, mine's a fully invertible copperhead-style drum bot. The drum (in solidworks) weighs .27 lbs, spun by two EFL-300-1380 Park 300 brushless outrunners and a 2S thunder power 910mAh LiPo pack. I have no name for the project yet, but it will probably be another play on words using "drum" somewhere, like "boredrum" or "bumbledrum" or "druminator" or "drumatophobia" (domatophobia is the abnormal fear of being in a house)... something like that.
I will post screenshots of my CAD model when I have one done.

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the bot: for it is a human number; its number is six hundred and sixty six.
