Components used in a combat robot

                                            Now that you have decided to make a ComBot.
Let's get started ...

1. Make a list of of required components and check it's availability.
 Here are basic components of any weight class combot
                     1. Basic Structure materials-includes chassis
                     2. Batteries/charger and Power unit and A MM(Multimeter)

Comes handy when you have to check if battery is drained or not.And also for checking connections. 

                     3. DC drive motors(2 or 4 depending on your bot is 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive)

                     4. Wheels

                     5. Welding equipments
                     6. Transmission elements
                     7. Wiring
                     8. Speed controller

                     9. Robot control R/C Receiver/ Transmitter
                   10. Workshop/Machine Tools :  Lathe(or just go to nearby workshop)
                    11. Most important of all WEAPONRY !!!

Weapon : Drum 

Weapon : Wedge

Weapon : Lifter

Robot of any weaponry can win the match if it has been designed and built (close to)perfectly.
Your bot represents your engineering skills and knowledge.
Before you build a Combot,., pre-requisite knowledge in specific engineering streams like mechanical engineering,electrical engineering,Hydraulics and Pneumatics control and computer engineering(in case of autonomous robot) is required(not necessary) !!!
Why not necessary ?
Because you can learn all these things while you are building one.
Some schools also teach Combotics to their students in Mechanical design and workshop technology in other countries.
As we go on further...we will discuss more about current status of combat robotics in India  !
