Build module

Now your young engineer can get making and explore combat robotics. Tronbots brings engineering to life, with project-based learning and achievable stages. The keen tutors enjoy working with young people. Tronbots’ BambuLab X1C 3D Printer is available for those keen to use computer modelling, and once complete, members can level up to really challenge themselves!

Build is the classic 10-session Tronbots experience. Members are guided through the design, build, and battle process with their own exclusive loan kit.

Battle is an afternoon session for those keen to taste combat robotics without the weekly commitment. Turn up at midday, grab your loan kit, and get building ready for the 1:30pm tournament!

Recent builds

Hamish's 'Worst Case Scenario' used a custom-made solid aluminium beater-bar and 3D printed nylon chassis.

Parker's 'Scorpion' leveraged a low wedge and servo-driven dagger to pin his opponents.

Devin's 'Destroyer' is the result of just one hour of prep with a cardboard loan kit! Good stuff.

Tronbots is proudly supported by the University of Waikato School of Engineering.

The Thursday lab sessions and tournaments are held in the Mata Tina building.
