Velocity

—
Velocity 1 was a 120lb middleweight and was the first ‘bot that I built and entered in competition. The electronics and drive train were from an electric wheelchair that I bought from a repair shop that was sympathetic to my cause. Velocity 1 had a welded tube steel frame and polycarbonate armor. Velocity 1 competed at a Battlebots tournament in 2001.

Velocity 2 used the same drive train as its younger brother, but featured a low profile welded steel frame with wedge like spikes on its front for manipulating opponents. Velocity 2 competed at battlebots tournaments in 2001 and 2002.
