What happens when you hand an educational robot to a group of developers and ask them to build something fun? At Arduino, you get a multiplayer robot showdown that’s part battle, part programming lesson, and entirely Alvik. The idea for Alvik Fight Club first came to life during one of our internal Make Tanks, in […]
Battlebots are fascinating, because their builders always manage to come up with unique new ways of destroying opponents while avoiding damage at the same time. Like any good sport, it involves metagaming to develop a strategy based on expected opponent strategies. Ari’s strategy was to make a translational drift (or “melty brain”) combat robot that […]
When the BattleBots TV show first hit the airwaves in 2000, it felt like we were finally living in the future. Engineers and enterprising hobbyists from around the world would compete to build the most destructive robots, which then entered into televised mortal combat within an arena. The original series had many notable robots, but two of […]
As part of what has become an annual holiday tradition, several YouTube makers coordinated their efforts this year for a Secret Santa exchange. Returning participant James Bruton drew Emily the Engineer and found inspiration for his gift from an automatic boxing glove that she built. Taking that idea and running with it, he created a […]
