Crimson Combat Robotics New Robots

Crimson Combat Robotics is an innovative student organization focused on designing and fabricating combat robots' weighing three, twelve, and thirty pounds. Our mission is to enhance our students’ design and teamwork experience while creating a robot capable of inflicting maximum damage on opponents and withstand intense impacts. The design possibilities are endless, with potential features ranging from spinning blades to pneumatic flippers—even flamethrowers!

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be competing in the National Havoc Robot League (NHRL) in Norwalk, Connecticut, a national event that hosts qualifiers leading up to a December championship. We'll face top teams, including Georgia Tech’s Robojackets and groups from Northwestern and MIT, competing at the highest level to advance combat robotics throughout the Southeast.

We currently have five planned bots for this year. Our flagship bot Stampede is getting a full remodel including new electronics, hardware, and drive systems, all of which will help it to come back better than ever. Then we are adding a 12lb robot called Multibrain which seeks to create carnage with a full body spinner design. Using the entire weight and momentum of the bot as its weapon system. Then to round it out we will be adding three, 3lb, robots including a vertical spinner, horizontal spinner, and a mystery bot that will be revealed at a later date with a completely different design (Stay in touch for updates).

Your donations will directly fund the high-quality components needed for our team, such as motors, batteries, and controllers, along with premium materials like titanium and carbon fiber. Our team is skilled with CNC milling, water jet cutting, and wire EDM. These skills will help us construct the best possible design. Combat robotics requires spare parts, so any contribution will help ensure we’re fully equipped to compete.

Beyond building robots, our team works hard to help the community. We attend numerous youth robotics events. This ranges from volunteering at VEX robotics competitions to helping at a nearby middle school. We attempt to take every opportunity to help local students and get involved in the community. Your donation will help us continue to grow and get more students involved in this great city.

Your support will empower Crimson Combat Robotics to grow, compete, and inspire future engineers. Thank you for helping us build, battle, and bring innovation to our community!
