Mini Battlebot Competition

I don't understand quite what the intended market is? Who is the customer for these kits? How much would they cost? How would you go about getting people to buy into this?

this might be cool, 2 rs775s and 2 rs550s for motors, u get pneumatics, and you have to use wood for the frame.

Yeah, this would be the first year of us trying to do a battlebots competition, and it seems to be very difficulty. I wanted to put this out to the community to maybe gain some assistance or ideas about how to do this.

2.4Ghz systems would definetly be a safety increase. However our market is teams of high school students with minimal knowledge of robotics. These teams will be assisted by one FRC student team member to provide assistance to the high school teams.

The goal of this is to provide an opening bang to robotics and then slowly apply the ideals of FIRST by helping give back to the community by building a robot to clean up the parks. In our opinion this is a good way to get a lot of people quickly interested in show them how cool robots are, and then we can show what FIRST is all about
