Sgt. Poke
Sgt. Poke is my antweight (1lb) combat robot that crushes it’s competition. I have always been impressed by crushing robots but they are very rare. So I decided to make one myself and it came out great. Before all I had was a kit robot that was designed to flip other robots over. But that’s just crushing upside down right? so I thought it would be pretty easy, but oh was I wrong. We had to make everything from scratch and order a servo that was much more powerful and able to put out over 200 pounds of force. Now the robot punctures right through other robots.

What I have today
Skorpios
I joined a BattleBots team called Skorpios that my mentor was the team captain of. Skorpios is a heavyweight (250lb) combat robot that has been competing on BattleBots for many years. Skorpios has what’s called a hammer-saw as the weapon that spins a piece of AR400 tank steel at over 200 mph and slams it down on top of our opponents.
Here are some videos if you would like to watch some of our fights
Robot Hockey
I joined a robot hockey team called Magic Smoke and these are our current 3 robots. We have Beetle on the left, Trident in the middle, and XD on the right.
