Abstract
Four mechanical engineering students from Saint Louis University will be using the funds from the Missouri Space Grant Consortium for their senior capstone design project. Their project is a Combat Robot that will compete in the 2011 Robogames on April 15. Combat robots are useful in the practical applications of systems durability and creativity. A combat robot is radio controlled robot designed to compete in a survival of the fittest battle. The robot has to be able to mechanically attack the other robot as well as defend against their assaults. SLU's combat robot will be deployed in an arena for a face to face competition in which they fight each other for three minutes until one is deemed non-functional. This project will be finalized by April 14, 2011 for the annual RoboGames 120 pound combat competition, held in San Mateo, CA. The robot design, construction, and testing
