Part of the extra weight budget was also used to beef up his armor and internal structure of the bot, so that hits from opponents would just bounce him around the cage harmlessly. is not new to the world of combat robotics, and knew it would take more than just a big weapon to win. In addition to thickness, the added weight allowance permitted a larger spinning diameter so that Kitten Mittens could hit opponents before they hit him. It is made of 3/4-inch S7 tool steel and has a custom hub motor integrated into the center, bringing its rotating weight to 5.5 pounds. So how did take advantage of that extra 6 pounds? The biggest thing was the weapon. Where competes, the Norwalk Havoc Robot League, this means that his bot can be up to 6 pounds heavier than the other competitors! A printed prototype of the weapon, showing off the integrated hub motor. Kitten Mittens fights in the 12-pound combat robotics weight class, but most leagues have weight bonuses for bots that have no wheels or use otherwise nontraditional locomotion. While this does leave Kitten Mittens much slower and less agile than competitors, it gives one massive leg up weight. Watch the video after the break to see it in action.
This means that instead of traditional tank treads or wheels to move about, navigates by angling his bot’s weapon and using the angular momentum to lift up one side of the bot to “walk” forward. bot, called Kitten Mittens, is a gyro walker combat robot. So why did design his 12-pound bot with no wheels, or any locomotion system for that matter? You can find out more about this peculiar bot in his build report with more than 130 images.
They are simple, work well, and if designed right they can take a bit of a beating.

If you watch it on TV or see clips on YouTube, you’ll notice that most combat robots have wheels, which would make sense.
