Megabots' Giant Fighting Robot!

Published on May 23, 2015

We ran into a giant mech at Maker Faire! Megabots' creators constructed this massive concept robot in hopes of building a league of combat bots for spectators. Their fighting robots would be piloted by teams of drivers, and use massive hand-made paintballs to knock armor and other pieces off of their opponents. We enter the cockpit of this robot and check out its controls!

MegaBots at Maker Faire 2015: World Debut of the Mk. II Mech

Published on Jun 9, 2015

In January of 2015, MegaBots and Autodesk partnered up to challenge makers from around the world to design the armor paneling of miniature MegaBots to show what our final walking robots might look like, and a reloading left arm cannon for our full-scale MegaBot. We then turned the torso shell and right arm of our Mk. I upper body prototype into a full-scale, 15 foot tall, 6 ton tracked mech that has the ability to drive, stand, torso twist, and fire interchangeable weapons from both arms.

The Mk. II is a tracked prototype of the walking mechs we're gearing up to start designing and building. It's roughly the same size and weight as our final robots will be, with similar abilities to change out weapon systems and armor paneling.
