Combat robotics involves competitions where custom-built machines battle to disable or destroy each other, showcased in series like BattleBots and Robot Wars. Safety is paramount, with strict regulations on weapons and construction materials, and various designs such as wedges, spinners, and flippers are used strategically. Successful robot creation requires machinery, funding, experience, and skilled drivers, emphasizing that safety is the top priority.

2. • Robot combat is a form of robot competition in which two or more
custom-built machines use varied methods of destroying or disabling
the other.
•Robot combat competitions have been made into television series,
including Battlebots in the US and Robot Wars in the UK.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Robot fights take place in a sturdy arena, usually constructed of
steel, wood, and bulletproof clear Lexan plastic.
Strict limits are placed on materials and pressures used
in pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, and fail-safe systems are
required for electronic control circuits. Generally off-limits for use as
weapons are nets, liquids, radio jamming, high-voltage electric
discharge, untethered projectiles, and usually fire.

4. WEAPONS AND DESIGNS
Wedge-
 the wedge uses a low-clearance inclined wedge or scoop to move in
under an opponent and break its contact with the arena floor –
decreasing its mobility and rendering it easy to push off into a wall or
hazard.
 The wedge is also useful in deflecting attacks by other robots.
Wedges are also used to lift an opponent up to make the attack.

5. SPINNER-
spinners use a heavy bar, studded disc, or toothed cylinder
(drum/eggbeater) to strike the opponent with the kinetic energy
stored in the rotating mass.
pinners use a heavy bar, studded disc, or toothed cylinder
(drum/eggbeater) to strike the opponent with the kinetic energy
stored in the rotating mass. The mass may spin on either a horizontal
or vertical axis.

6. FLIPPER-
 the flipper uses much higher levels of pneumatic power to fire the
lifting arm or panel explosively upward. An effective flipper can throw
opponents end-over-end through the air causing damage from the
landing impact or, in Robot Wars, toss it completely out of the arena.

7. OTHER WEAPONES INCLUDE-
STABBER
CRUSHER
OVERHEAD AXE
FLAMER

8. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO MAKE A
COMBAT ROBOT?
A GOOD MACHINERY,TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
MONEY A.K.A. SPONSORS
GOOD QUALITY FABRICATION
ENOUGH AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE FROM OTHERS
A GOOD DRIVER

12. CONCLUSION-
FOR CONCLUSION WE CAN SAY THAT, WITH ENOUGH COURAGE AND
WILL IN YOUR HEART ALONG WITH HUGE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN ROBOT TOO.
BUT THE MAIN THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THE “SAFETY IS NUMBER 1
PRIORITY”
