BattleBots
Welcome to the Myriapod ("many-legged ones.") battlebot page
Update: the battle bot was lost in a building fire. It turns out that burning a place down with a laser is not as fun as it sounds.

Good by millipede. You will be missed
Millipede MW7
At
Mechwar's 7 I used a winch to pull it to the ceiling before spinning
up the weapon, however every time I came down it went unstable and
broke itself. I did win one match when my opponent drove himself into
the arena spinner.
Centipede Version 3
This version added a new top with stab and slash cutting
tips.
It took second place at twin
cities mechwars.
Centipede Version 2
Centipede was rebuilt in to a Middle weight(120 pounds) after
the battlebot rule change in 4.0.
As you can see I kept the legs
and added a new spinner top.
Centipede Version 1
As you can see by the image it is a walking bot with 8 legs on each side. (sorry about the clutter at my pit table) The bot is made out of aluminum and a wood looking plastic is adhered to the aluminum. The blade is 3 feet long and spins horizontally at 2000 RPM.
