Team Crazy Dad Combat Robotics

Welcome to the team web site of Team Crazy Dad - which is nothing more than one dad (me) and my three young sons having some fun building and competing combat robots. I think we have a good synergy here. I enjoy design and construction, especially engineering things subject to significant constraints as combat can be. My sons on the other hand are your typical boys and excel in the art of destruction and typical boy's play. While at present they are only 4, 6 and 9 years old, the potential for descruction and mayhem is clearly present. Better to channel it in pseudo-educational activities than not, i say.

So far we are just getting into this roboto combat stuff. We've only built one real bot (Robo Knight) and have participated only two events (PennBots Summer Fair 2005 and House of NERC 2005). Our other bot Naked, is really a sparring partner and not meant for serious competition, however we will consider using it at PennBots November competition.
