Birthday BattleBot!

Friends for my birthday, I need your support.

We have to turn this 2024 campaign into something better it needs to be a CamPAIN! $250,000 to be on the ballot is way too much for the common folk. So instead I’ve put my name into a different arena. Combat Robotics!

What is combat robotics, it’s battle bots! Remote controlled demo derby, it’s metal on metal collisions and so much more! Check out the video of NHRL (or check out battlebots on discovery/max)

I want to take my first step into this new journey with all of you. I am looking to build my first battlebot to compete in antweight class(1lb) this August. With that comes a lot of building, practice driving, and fine tuning the bot to make our championship push a reality. I am planning to document my journey through the whole process from building the bot, testing it, and my first competition and so on.

The cost of entry to this can be a bit pricey and would love to team up with all of you to make this a reality. What a better birthday gift than an RC bot of destruction.
