The FingerTech Viper Combat Robot Kit is an ideal entry point for enthusiasts interested in combat robotics. This kit provides a comprehensive set of components necessary for building a functional combat robot, including a robust chassis, motors, wheels, speed controllers, and armor. The design is tailored for the 1lb Antweight class, ensuring compatibility with standard competition requirements.
The chassis is crafted from custom-formed 6061-T6 Aluminum, offering a balance of strength and lightweight properties. The kit features two FingerTech 'Silver Spark' gearmotors paired with 2.25-inch foam wheels, providing reliable mobility and traction. Additionally, the inclusion of two FingerTech 'tinyESC' speed controllers ensures precise control over the robot's movements.
For protection during combat, the kit includes UHMW and polycarbonate armor, which are known for their durability and impact resistance. While the radio transmitter and receiver are optional, they can be added to enhance the robot's remote control capabilities. The kit is recommended for individuals aged 10 and above, although younger builders aged 6 and above can also participate with parental guidance.
Note: Adult supervision is recommended for builders under the age of 10.
