Mga robot na pwedeng gawinRobots you can actually build

Libre lahat ng ito. Nakasulat kung ano ang pwede at hindi pwede. The 150 g combat robots the club prints. Every one was opened and read before it went on this list, so anything here is cleared to build. Found something else you want to make? Bring it and we will look at it together.

Libre Nasuri na ang lahat ng nasa listahang ito. Everything on this page has been checked and is cleared for the club to print — the badge on each card just records which licence it carries. You do not need to work anything out: if it is listed here, print it. One rule only: link to the source, never re-host the files.
★ CAD Ilan ay pwedeng baguhin, hindi lang i-print. A green or gold badge means the design ships a real CAD file, not just a printable mesh — so it can be re-cut around our own electronics. .STEP is a solid you reshape by hand; .f3d carries the full design history, so changing a number rebuilds the model. No badge means printable only.
⚠ "Antweight" ay dalawang timbang. In the UK and New Zealand an antweight is 150 g — our class. In most of the USA, antweight means 1 lb (454 g) and 150 g is called fairyweight. Same word, three times the robot. More than half the search results are the heavy one, so check the grams before you fall in love with a design.

Mga robot · 150 gThe robots · 150 g, the club class

Labinsiyam na robot, labinsiyam na paraan ng paglaban. Nineteen builds and, between them, nearly every weapon there is: a plow, wedgelets, a wedge, flippers, a lifter, a grabber, a crusher, a pusher-hammer, a beater bar, a full bar, a drum, a toothed disc, and spinners that turn flat or upright. Pick one.

Hindi pa alam ang mga pangalan? Panoorin muna: Every Combat Robot Weapon Explained (Team Cryptid Robotics, 21 min, Ingles). New to the names? Watch this first: every weapon type, what it's good at, and why a builder would or wouldn't pick it. It also explains why so many first robots are lifters: cheap to build, and you can test one without a box.

The cleanest licence of any robot here: no NonCommercial clause at all. Only ShareAlike, which bites only if we publish our own version.
The Vertical Spinner battlebot

Vertical Spinner

TheBlackfish · MakerWorld

CC BY-NC-SA150 g

The companion to the Beater Bar from the same designer — same body, a vertical spinning weapon instead of a horizontal bar.

Two weapons on one familiar chassis is the cheapest way to give a class a real choice without a second set of parts.

Shredder, a 150 g combat robot with a bar spinner

Shredder

drcameron · Thingiverse

CC BY150 g

Two weapons on one body — a toothed disc and a bar — plus an internal firewall protecting the electronics.

The reason to look at this one first: it has built-in N20 motor mounts. The motors slide in and hold — no screws. That is the single fiddliest step on a small robot, designed out.
A 150 g flipper robot decorated as a black cat

N20 Fairy Flipper

JairEmia · Thingiverse

CC BY150 g~$50

Rotary flipper on 2× N20s — the arms go all the way round while the button is held. Parts list and build notes come with the download. And it is a cat.

Built deliberately as a loaner bot: the designer wanted something he could hand a beginner to practise with, so the build includes its own transmitter and receiver. That is our controller problem, already solved by someone else.
Big Flip, a 150 g servo flipper robot

Big Flip

SiegelRacing · Thingiverse

CC BY150 g

A servo flipper with a stretched chassis, and 4-inch-cube legal.

Why it was stretched, in the designer's words: they had been "hacking the big servos to get them to fit and gluing them in." This version makes the servos easy to install and swap — which matters a great deal when twenty children are doing it.
Blockhead, a 150 g wedge robot with a lifting arm

Blockhead

earthwormjim · Thingiverse

CC BY150 g★ .f3d parametric

Chassis and weapon together, with a wide front wedge and a lifting arm. There is a test video on the design page.

⭐ The best file on this whole page. It ships .f3d — Fusion 360's own format, carrying the full design history. Open it and you get the real sketches and dimensions, so changing a number rebuilds the model. Everything else here is either a finished solid or a mesh. It ships a .STEP too, for anyone without Fusion.
A 150 g hammer battlebot with a gear-driven arm

Hammer Battlebot

Tom_Dreyfus, from emancarrillo's original · Thingiverse

CC BY-NC150 g

Dalawang sandata sa isang robot. Really two weapons in one: a full-width plow to get under the other robot and shove it, plus a gear-driven hammer that swings over the top. The only thing here that strikes downward instead of spinning — and the only one that can push and hit.

Runs N20 motors, with extra retention added for them. The designer also links a Fusion 360 copy of the model, so it may be editable CAD rather than a mesh — ⬜ worth checking, because that is the difference between changing a number and fighting a triangle soup.
A 150 g crusher robot with a hinged spiked jaw

Crusher

emancarrillo · Thingiverse · the same designer as the hammer bot

CC BY-NC-SA150 g.STEP editable

A hinged, spiked jaw that comes down over the other robot, with a wedge to get under it first. Nothing else here grips — everything else spins, flips or shoves.

Ships a real CAD file — 150G_KRAKEN_ASSY_001.STEP, a proper solid rather than a mesh, so it can be edited, measured and re-cut around our own electronics.

He is also honest about it: "more of a control bot as it doesn't really have the power to crush." That is the right expectation to set with a child — it wins by holding and steering the other robot, not by destroying it. Needs no extra tools, but he warns that prepping the gears and setting the servo limits is fiddly.
BatBotSpin, a 150 g horizontal bar spinner

BatBotSpin

Ruffson · Thingiverse

CC BY-NC-SA150 g.stp editable

A full horizontal bar on a front bearing mount, sweeping flat and level — the small cousin of the machines that take the side off an opponent. 2× N20 500 rpm for drive, a brushless 1504 for the bar.

Worth putting beside the Beater Bar rather than instead of it: a short beater and a long bar are the same idea at different scales, and comparing them is how a child works out that the tip of a longer bar carries far more energy — and why its mount has to be so much stronger.

It also ships BatBotSpin.stp, and its parts are already split sensibly — Body, Spinner, Support, Cover, Adapter — which is most of the way to a modular bot already.

⚠️ Specs its N20s at 12 V; our parts list is 6 V. Check which before ordering. Parts links go to Ozon (Russian), so source equivalents locally.
Plan B mk.1, a sleek 150 g combat robot

Plan B mk.1

jeremywheat · Thingiverse

CC BY-NC-SA150 g.step — every part

Ginawa ito ng isang estudyante, para sa club sa paaralan nila. Designed by a high-school student for his own school club. Long tapered body, front spinner, M2 screws throughout except M3 on the weapon.

Ito ang patunay · this one is the proof. Everything else here was built by an adult hobbyist. This was built by a kid, for a club exactly like ours — which is the most useful thing a child on this page can read.

It also has the most complete CAD of anything we found: Chassis, Lid, Weapon and Wheel each ship as both .stl and .step. And the designer invites questions in the comments.
BatBotDrum, a 150 g drum spinner

BatBotDrum

Ruffson · Thingiverse · same designer as BatBotSpin

CC BY-NC-SA150 g.stp editable

A drum — a wide toothed cylinder turning across the front. Steadier than a bar because the weight is spread along it, so it is less likely to throw itself across the arena when it lands a hit.

⭐ Ito ang modular · this pair IS the modular idea. Compare its parts with BatBotSpin: both are Body + Cover + Wheel, and only the weapon differs — Drum on one, Spinner + Support + Adapter on the other. One chassis, two weapons, by one designer, and both ship a .stp.

That is the strongest starting point we have found for a club bot: print the body once per kid, print a different weapon each term.
The CRNZ modular antweight kit

CRNZ Antweight Modular Kit

Paul Mumby (Orb0) · Combat Robotics New Zealand

CC BY-NC-SA150 g

A whole kit, not one bot: base 2WD pushbot with plow, wedgelets, a 4WD expansion, vertical spinner, horizontal spinner, hugger, grabber/lifter — all on a shared dovetail mount you can design your own module for. Ships an A1 mini print profile and a published build tutorial.

The strongest option on this page for a class, and the upstream of several others here. Watch: it is built around the Kakapo controller, not an ESP32.
The Beater Bar battlebot

Beater Bar Battlebot

TheBlackfish · MakerWorld

CC BY-NC-SA150 g

A spinning beater bar on a CRNZ-derived body, with mounts already cut for N20/N10 gearmotors — the same motors in our parts list.

The designer's own photo shows the bar bent after nearly every fight, and says so. That honesty is worth more than the file: plan on spares.
The six-wheel servo flipper

6-wheel servo flipper

MakerWorld

CC BY-NC-SA150 g

Low, stable, six wheels, and a servo flipper that gets its forks under anything. 2× N20 6V 500 rpm — our motors. Over 50 fights, with a long written guide.

The author's own warning: "not necessarily designed to be easy to build." Not a first project.

Isang simpleng robot na pwedeng palitan ang itaas. A low, simple pusher on 2× N20 — our motors. We've made it the club's base robot: the same chassis for everyone, with tops you swap on the same three screws. Our first top carries the club ESP32.

Every top fits every chassis, so a kid can go from pusher to axe without building a new robot.

Palakol na ikakabit lang. Not a robot — a weapon module. One cheap 9 g servo swings an axe through gears, and it doubles as a self-righter. Bolts onto any flat top. The axe head is a blank: make your own.

Made by the designer "for newcomers or easy demo bots for your kids". Our first weapon for Pushbot and LOADER.

Para sa klase na plastik lang. 141 g, built for the plastic-only class. A big one-tooth blade and belt-driven tracks. Full CAD, so you can open it and change it.

Tight inside: our ESP32 doesn't fit as drawn. A good CAD challenge.

Nagsimula bilang robot para sa baguhan. Started as a beginner robot and was "quite frankly useless". Fixed one event at a time, it became one of Australia's hardest-hitting 150 g robots. Mk 1 and Mk 2 CAD are both free, so you can see exactly what changed.

Watch his video: the best lesson there is in build, fight, fix, repeat.

For the senior high team: one robot built by a team of up to eight, for real Philippine events (SPARKS runs a 1 kg all-plastic class; RoboRumble is 1.5 kg). These are heavier “beetleweight” robots, 1.36 kg, by James Kirby. Study them, don't copy them: the team builds its own.

Hindi robot, pero gawin ninyoNot robots — but build these anyway

Ang arena, ang sukatan, at ang kontrol. The arena the fight happens in, the gauge that decides whether a robot is legal, the controller that drives it, and spare wheels. None of them is a robot; all of them matter as much as the robots do.

The ESP32 Bat gamepad: a bat-shaped circuit board with two joysticks and an ESP32

Ang aming kontrol · Our club controller

ESP32 Bat Gamepad · Maker 101 · PCBWay · video

CC BY-SAside build

Ihinang ang board, idisenyo ang mukha, at sa inyo na ang kontrol. Solder the board, design the face, and the controller is yours. The first thing each kid builds that they keep and use every fight.

Apat na hakbang · four steps
1. Ihinang · Solder. A bat-shaped board, all through-hole: two joysticks, four buttons, a 5 V regulator and our own 30-pin ESP32 plugged into headers. About 120 joints, a real soldering job that ends in something that works.
2. Idisenyo · Design. Each kid fills in a design sheet for their faceplate — style, pattern, colours, their name. We turn it into a 3D model together on the TV, the class suggests changes, then it prints.
3. Buuin · Assemble. The board locks into a midframe that is the same for everyone; the kid's own faceplate goes on the front, the back shell closes it. Every controller looks different and every one fits every board.
4. Laruin · Play. It drives their battle bot over ESP-NOW — and loaded with the Bluetooth gamepad code, the same controller works as a game controller on a phone.

⚠ Hindi pa tapos · not finished yet: the club shell is still being designed, and the board is not ordered. One check first: the ESP32's two pin rows must be 25.4 mm apart to fit this board.

CC BY-NC-SAside build

Isang kontrol na kayo ang gumawa — at may mukha ninyo sa harap. A printed transmitter the kids build themselves, with their own picture or name on the face. It is the only thing on this page that is not a robot, and it may be the most useful.

Bakit ito ang pinakamahalaga · why this one matters most
It makes Lesson 7 real. Right now huling narinig — "last heard" — is a number on a screen. With a controller the kids built, talking to the bot over ESP-NOW, that variable is the time since the last radio packet. Switch the controller off, watch the number climb, watch the weapon stop.

It also teaches inputs, which no module covers yet — a joystick is two potentiometers feeding an ADC, which is Lessons 2 and 4 paying off on something real. And it is cheaper: a second ESP32 is ₱250–400 against ₱800–1,500 for a gamepad. ESP-NOW reaches 100 m+, against Bluetooth's ~10 m.

⚠ The cost, honestly: twenty controllers is twenty more builds and one firmware bug takes out every bot at once — and twenty ESP-NOW transmitters in one room need their peer addresses and channels managed, or a bot answers the wrong child. Solve that before an event, not at one.
A polycarbonate robot combat arena with lighting and a match timer

Ang arena · The battle box

JEQuad · Thingiverse · built for 150 g AND 450 g robots

CC BYthe venue

Dito nagaganap ang laban — at dito nananatiling ligtas ang lahat. Angled polycarbonate walls, a lit frame and a match timer. This is where a fight happens and, more to the point, where the pieces stay when something lets go.

Bakit tatsulok · why the triangle matters. It is not styling. The angled walls open a clear viewing line from BOTH sides, where a plain box really only works looked at from above — and at an event the audience is the point. The slope also deflects anything that comes off a robot down and inward rather than straight up at the people watching.

Real numbers, which is what makes it useful: 5 mm polycarbonate walls · audience side panels 1276 × 943 mm, two of them · triangles cut corner-to-corner from one 937 × 937 mm sheet with a jigsaw.

⚠️ The designer says plainly it is "for reference, not as full plans" — treat the dimensions as a starting point, not a cut list. Note also that our own notes specify 4.5 mm polycarbonate, not 5 mm; settle that before anyone buys a sheet.

Wala rito ang aming robot. None of these is our chassis, and none of them will be. Every one is cut around whatever electronics its author used — mostly a Malenki nano or a Kakapo, which are RC receivers, not microcontrollers. Ours is ESP32 + DRV8833 + 2× N20 + a Bluetooth gamepad. Use these to measure against, to learn from, and to cut up. Then do what Maker's Muse teaches: measure your own parts with calipers, draw them flat on paper, and design around what you actually have.
