Immortal

Immortal is the winner of the 2011 and 2013 Mech Warfare competitions, and the runner-up in 2012. Immortal was built by forum user Cire.

Immortal is an 18 servo quad mech, with 4 DoF per leg.

Robot name: Immortal, inspired by the unit in Starcraft II. Locomotion: 4 legged walker, with 4 Ax-12 servo's in each. Turret: Pan & tilt control, 2 airsoft guns and wireless IP camera. Chassis: Laser-cut sheet aluminum Power: 11.1V 2100 maH LiPO battery. Brains: Arduino based Arbotix microcontroller. Control: Arbotix Commander custom controller. For the 2012 and 2013 competitions, issues with weight and overheating were encountered. These were potentially due to aging servos, and worked around by removing one gun in 2012, and reducing the legs to 2 DoF in 2013.
