1. ASME Battlebots  Design, analyze, fabricate, test and compete combat robots  SolidWorks  Focus on high strength structures and designs  Use of small teams to maximize project experience for each member  Concepts Utilized:  Statics, Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Design principles  Weight Classes  Beetleweight (3lb)  Hobbyweight (15lb)  Lightweight (60lb) Sonoma Ant Wars 2013 - Beetleweight Competitors Current Lightweight Design Expected Completion March 2014

2. Student Education  Student education  Mechanical systems and product design  CAD Project  Machining classes  Safe and effective use of student machine shop  Hockeybot Project  Tech Camp 2013  Mentorship  Hands-on experience for high school students Hockeybot Competition 2012 to 2013 First year member project New Member Machine Shop Projects “Little Man” (left) and Elmer’s Air Engine (Right)

3. Results & Goals  Last year’s results  Competed in first hockeybot competition with a team comprised entirely of first year members  Competed 4 beetleweights in local competition and placed third  Attention on individual education lead to increased member retention  This year’s goals  Build off last year’s experience to optimize armor design and component selection in beetleweight and lightweight robots  Improve new member development with large hands on robot project (due to absence of hockeybot competition this year)
