I am a complete noob in RC(I dont even have a radio yet!) and am in the process of getting into this wonderful hobby! I have been making things since as far back as I can remember though I did not document any of my earlier creations.. I have always liked scavenging parts from junk(probably because I am always outta cash :P). I got to building robots for entering into competions for the last two years.. Here are some of them :)
R.A.F.T(robot aided flood transportation)
This is a folding bot that I made for IIT KGP event. The paddles remain folded when not in use. When placed placed on a raft, it unfurls and provide motive power..
The first one is a battlebot
Specs(approx as I have only rudimentary methods of measuring ;D)
70Kg/cm Torque
25Kg lifting arm(limited to about 12kg because of design constraints)(the blue bot there weighed 8Kg >:D)
5cm dia wheels at 200rpm
The second is an All Terrain Bot.
A little modification to the battlebot for a task event.

A football playing bot
Great job..you are truly inspirational.... :hatsoff:
@ last right
are you by any chance from FIEM Kolkatta? Because I think I remember seeing the videos when I was there.
awesome mate.really nice work out there.since you jumped into rc hobby i am sure sooner or later you would like to convert your wired robots into wireless.
@roopeshkrishna Thanks! I love anything electrical/electronic or mechanical.. In other words, I just love machines in all shapes and sizes. Moreover the winnings from these events help me sustain my hobbies. :)
@coolpratheesh No I am from Camellia Inst of Tech. I participate in almost every robotics event held in and around Kolkata. I came first in FIEM btw ;D... You are from Kolkata?
@Dharmik: Thank you! It would be quite tough. Since they take power from a pc smps I took some liberty designing them.. They are quite inefficient when it comes to energy management :P.. Anyways all those robots have already been disassembled as I have to make new ones for Kshitij 2012
Very nice :thumbsup:
Wow, superb work mate! BTW Do you plan on participating in Instruo this year?
@Rohit Yup. Last year it clashed with another college's fest, don't remember which, so I could not make it there. I will participate for sure this year :) Its held in March right?
Yes. Will let you know!
