Creatabot 1/2 lb Combat Robotics Kit - DIY Robot Starter Kit with Chassis, Motors, Weapons, & Controller

(0 review)

The Creatabot Kits are an exciting, affordable, and beginner-friendly combat robotics platform, perfect for classrooms, after-school programs, summer camps, clubs, birthday parties, and STEM education at any level.

We've consistently found that FAST, POWERFUL, and FUN robots engage builders far more effectively than bots that simply "move" or even those that "move and do something." The Creatabot experience is about sparking creativity through speed, performance, and hands-on building.

While the 150 g class offers a great challenge for experienced builders, newer students often benefit from a little more design flexibility. On the other end of the spectrum, battling high-speed 1 lb robots requires large, robust containment, often too bulky or complex for classroom use.

Enter the 1/2 lb Spider class.

This format strikes the ideal balance: lightweight enough for use in small, portable arenas, yet substantial enough to support creative, exciting, and dynamic designs. Team up and run 2 Creatabots as a 1lb multibot, or use the components in your own 150 g or 1 lb design.
