Our robots fought valiantly this past weekend at Motorama’s Robot Conflict event in Harrisburg, PA. We improved our designs from previous years to field robots able to take substantial damage as well as give it. One 3lb battlebot reached a quarterfinal and
Cathii, our 30lb battlebot, won her first ever fight!

The RoboJackets’ Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition team and their robot Mistii recently attended competition at Oakland University in Rochester Michigan from June 5-8. Mistii, a 3 wheeled, 300lb autonomous vehicle, contended with adverse weather conditions and muddy terrain over the four days of the event. The team was ultimately unable to qualify on the track but came closer to their goal than in the previous two years. The object of the competition is to create and program a robot that can navigate an outdoor obstacle course comprised of barrels, painted lines, and gps waypoints without any human assistance.

At the RoboGames international robot competition in San Francisco, California, RoboJackets’ BattleBots team successfully defeated Heavy Metal using our horizontal spinning drum BattleBot, Mandii . Unfortunately, we were knocked out of the tournament by the highly destructive robot Touro created by RioBotz, a team from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In addition, our Sumo bot took 4th place overall in the 3 kg R/C class and we were officially invited to the “International Robot Sumo Tournament 2015” held in December in Tokyo, Japan.
