Lynxmotion Developing Mech Warfare Robot Kit
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 17 of September , 2009 at 3:14 am
As cool as Mech Warfare is, the barrier to entry (in terms of both skill and money required) is relatively high, since (for year one, anyway) pretty much everyone had to design and construction their robots from scratch. With this in mind, Lynxmotion (remember them?) is working on a biped Mech kit that includes everything you’ll need right out of the box, from a camera system to airsoft guns. Here’s what they’ve got so far:
Pretty awesome, huh? It’s supposed to be “low cost,” but when it comes to robots, that could mean just about anything… We’ll keep you posted.

Not entirely sure the camera and airsoft guns will be included with the kit, but they’re readily available and I’m sure links will be provided for where Jim picked them up.
That said, this is a massive bonus to the Mech Warfare community, I think you’ll find the pricing on these kits very reasonable.

I have built this kit. It works as advertised, and is very easy to build. Make sure you get strong servos though, this bot gets heavy quick with all the guns and whatnot.
