The main issue with this is cost, few can afford the thousands it would take to build a competition bot like that.
However! I do think you could easily adapt it to a smaller embedded form factor and do like a beyblades style battle in a tiny arena.
Definitely agree about being hands on and open ended, the skills you learn will take you very far in engineering but also just in life!
- thereisnospork 2y agoI can't say I've looked into it in any detail, but I've seen 'antweight' and other extremely small/lightweight battle bot videos pop up on my youtube feed from time to time. Stuff that mostly looks 3d printed fighting in more or less an aquarium tank.

This would also allow them to be made larger more safely. I see modified jetskis trying to destroy each other. (My money would be on the urkrainian team.)
