Things to keep in mind before you make a combot

Things to keep in mind before you make a combot :)

*First,If you are intending to participate in a competition then start as early as possible. Testing is one of the most important thing because you don't want to be repairing your bot for the problem that was uncalled for just after you made the bot.

It is usually a scene at the event that guys are running here and there for tools and batteries(ohh yeah!) just before fight is about to start!

*Always call the organizers/in charge of the event  about the floor of the arena.(mentioned in arena article)!

*Check availability of the parts...remember you will always end up compromising for some parts ...so be prepared for that as well.

BASICS OF COMBOTICS

                                                     BASICS OF COMBOTICS

First of all Let's know..
                                   What is Combotics ? (I like to use this acronym :) )...

         Combat Robotics is a hobby sport/competition in which participants build,operate and fight their custom-built robots in the arena, only condition is that robot should be made in compliance with rules of the particular robotic event.
The target is to disable or destruct the opponent's  which is when it get's awesome :)
         The robot in general should be built in accordance with rules by Robot Fighting League 2004 Standard rules.
         The participant can be of ANY AGE.
                                          Little History of Combotics
          It is said that Marc Thorpe organized the first Robot Wars competition in San Francisco in 1994 but it seems that universities like MIT and CalTech have been conducting these events from 70's...YES...you read that right...!!!

But in India it's still uncertain where the competition was held first.
Rather than re-writing all the stuff again I suggest you to follow this link in order to know more about the history of Combat Robotics.

Now,enough of the history...let's get started with what you need to make a combot .:)
