Viper | R/C Combat Robot Kit
Adding Active Devices
Your radio transmitter has four channels besides the two for drive
that you can use to control additional active devices.
Some combat robot events have added “Sportsman” weight
classes that require active weapons. This is defined as “a weapon
or device intended for use in attacking the opponent, independent
of the robot drive train.” These include (but are not limited to)
lifters, hammers, clamps, flame weapons and spinning weapons.
The Viper combat kit has two optional add-on packages for
turning the basic Wedge robot into either a Lifter or a Spinner.

Shedding Weight
If you want to add things, you may need to make some weight for
them! You can drill holes in the baseplate, shorten the motor
shafts, remove the plastic case of the receiver, shorten/sharpen
the front wedge, and shorten/solder all the wires. You can swap
the 0.75” thick wheels for 0.5 thick, change the 360mAh lipoly
battery for a smaller one, or even replace all the steel screws with
aluminum ones! Every gram counts!
