Blastwave: An Overview

This robot started as a desire to design something similar to Yeti, a 4 wheel drive drum spinner for the antweight class of combat robots. The name comes from the desire to design something "Synthwave" themed (a theme that is rarely delivered upon except in the color scheme).

Each Blastwave version incorporates several features that tie together the lineage of the robot:

Blastwave important features:

  • PLA 3D Printed Chassis
  • Belt-Driven Drum Spinner Weapon
  • Four-Wheel-Drive chassis
