Get Started

Build your first bot

No experience needed. This is the starting line! Choose the version of the Aspire Robotics 150 gram Combat Robot, choose if you already have a Nintendo-style controller or if you need to buy one, and decide if you need to get it printed by Rising Sun FPV or if you will print it at home.

The Path

Zero to the arena

If you are new to all this, then start here. Build a no-soldering, video-build-instructions curated kit to begin.

BUILD, TEST, TWEAK

Assemble it, check it drives, and make sure your failsafe and weapon lock work before anything spins up. Bring questions to our Facebook page — someone's always happy to help.

BRING IT TO AN EVENT

Pass the safety check, line up, and fight. Win or lose, you'll learn more in one event day than a month at the bench.

Free / Open Source Examples

Free builds & downloads

These are free, designs you can 3D-print and build yourself. Each card links to its source page, where you download the CAD / print files. Look there too for the BOM (Bill of Materials) — the full list of electronics and hardware you'll need to source — which is usually in the page description, a linked PDF, or tucked inside the downloaded files. Build instructions are normally linked from the same place. Many designs come with instructions and a ready-made BOM via the Team Malice SCAR kit page below.

Recommended Controller

The FlySky FS-i6 / FS-i6X is the preferred controller for combat robots, and it's the transmitter we recommend every new builder starts with. Its failsafe has been tested over many years by the robot combat pilots that came before us — so when the signal drops, your robot stops.

Recommended Receivers

All three of these receivers are made to work with the FS-i6 and FS-i6X FlySky controllers, but the AIOs (all-in-one) have many built-in features that will save space and weight in your combat robot.
