Description
Repeat Robotics has iterated and refined the Peter Bar weapon style has for four years in our beetleweight, Ablation.
Now, we are applying those years of experience to a beetleweight kit that allows you to pack all of that performance into your very own robot!
The Peter Bar Kit comes with a custom 2836 outrunner for the belt-driven dual disk weapon, while four rubber Lego wheels are powered by trusty Repeat Drive Max brushless motors via HTD 3M belts to ensure maximum torque and manueverability.
Printed TPU armor panels protect the front and sides, and the modular front attachment structure allows you to easily configure your robot for any opponent.
The kit weighs in at 1100g before electronics and battery, leaving plenty of room for wedges, forks or other modifications. After electronics and a 4S 850mAh battery weight is around 1240g.

The Peter Bar Kit was a pleasure to put together, fight, abuse, fix, and fight again. It has held up to all bots thrown at it and then some. From dozens of fights, to some ludicrous butane explosion testing, to a national TV appearance. I have put this bot through the wringer and it keeps on ticking. Couldn’t recommend it more.

What a fantasic experiance. It was clear from the moment I recived the parts that thrre was an excellent thought process that went into the design of this bot. Due to my first time driving it in the areana, it was able to be put through the durablility test with having not 1 but 2 roof contact hits. This robot held up great and was able to return the favor a few times itself. Peter leaves some options on the table for the builder to experiment or add there own touches as well. I also want to comment on how well the response was with any questions that I might of had thorughout the build and competing process. This bot is great and its worth REPEATING !!!!… Thank you again.

This is a great kit for intermediate combat robotics competitors. The assembly video was very helpful in building the bot. My favorite aspect of the design is the ease in which components can be accessed and replaced in a very modular format. The drive train also works great, and provides an easy system to replace the belts or wheels when needed. Also the weight is well below 3lbs and provide plenty of extra room to add forks and other custom items. Peter also provides all of the STL files to further customize the design, all for a really great price!
