Robot Combat Kits
Many people don't have the fabrication or design experience to make a robot on their own so starting out with a kit is a great way to get into the sport.
Antweight Kits
The Fingertech Viper is a popular starting place. The Viper kit has lifter and bot vertical spinner and horizontal spinner addons which make it a great expandable option for new builders.
The Bristol Bot Builders kit has the parts you'll need to get started but you'll need to make your own chassis.
The Candy Wasp antweight kit from [https:botkits.com BotKits.com] isn't as flexible as the viper kit but it is super durable and more likely to survive a competition.
The Hellraiser is a well built drum kit but is for more intermediate builders.
The Lobotomy kit has an effective undercutter but is for intermediate builders.
The Saifu Drum Bot Kit is for more advanced builders and has won many events. This is a great choice for builders who want a kit robot with a powerful weapon.
The Taserface kit has a powerful vertical disk and is a good choice for intermediate builders who want a weapon bot.
The Vector kit has a powerful horizontal spinner.
Beetleweight Kits
The D2 kit is very durable and has won many events. Some builders don't like this kit because it is so competitive but it takes hours of practice to learn how to drive it well.
The MW1 kit is basically half a D2 kit and is designed for advanced builders who want to add a weapon onto the drivetrain.
The Weta Drum Bot Kit is a powerful beetleweight for more advanced builders who are interested in a weapon robot.
Bigger Robot Kits
BattleKits aren't really fully functional kits but are drive platforms for larger robots raking from sixty pound lightweights to two hundred fifty pound Battlebots. You'll need to fashion your own wedge or weapon to make these bots ready for combat.
