Beelzebub

–

Beelzebub was my latest and most successful ‘bot. The first version of this 30lb featherweight was built in a month and was designed around a drive train similar to one of my 120 pound robots. It used a light weight aluminum shell that acted as a chassis and as armor. Beelzebub was effective because of its speed and acceleration, its hinged titanium wedge that slipped under other ‘bots, and its “speed bump” that protected the large motors and launched other ‘bots into the air (see videos). The second version featured a self righting bar that automatically flipped Beelzebub when turned over.

Beelzebub competed in a Las Vegas Robot Fighting League tournament and at Robolympics in 2003, ranking high enough to advance the 2004 RFL National Championships.
