House of NERC ! Competing with the big boys RoboKnight made a respectable show winning 2 out of 3 before having to leave early.

Robo Squire

Robo Squire is our second Fairy weight bot. It is really really simple and light only 3 oz. The Fairy class lets us got to nearly 5.5 oz. So we are a bit underweight. Evan generated the idea for the name. When he saw me working on it he said "Oooh its a little RoboKnight" and I thought to myself a little knight is a squire right?

Robo Squire is your typical very low profile wedge bot. It is incredibly slim to allow for inverted operation. Unfortunately because the toy controls that came with it are so crude (like Mouseasaurus) it has tank steering without any mixing. But hey I can't expect everything!

This bot like Mousasaurus was built primarily for the younger members of Team Crazy Dad and in particular for the upcoming PennBot tournament.

Armor: Carbon Fiber
