War robot using chain-sprocket as a drive

The robot is a four wheeled robot designed for wired control. The bot design is completely metallic with all the components mounted on a metallic chasis. The bot design is divided into basically two different components. One is the Driving Mechanism and the other is the Weaponary Component.

Driving Mechanism:
This mechanism is incorporated primarily for motion of the bot. With the help of this mechanism the bot is able to move forward, backward and turn within the arena. The concept of Differential Steering, similar to that in tanks, is used for steering. The tracks are made to move at different speeds or even in opposite directions to bring about a change of course .The construction of this mechanism includes distributed power transmission to all the four wheels by using chain and sprocket drive. This enables the bot for effective turning in a short time and better traction.
Weaponary Component:
The Weaponary Component consists of prominently two weapons. The Rammer and the Lifter or Flipper.
Rammer:
The bot design consists of four Rammers, two located on the front side of the bot and two on the rear side of the bot. The function of this mechanism is to push the opponent’s bot out of the arena. This mechanism consists of movable rammers which are located inside the bot prior to activation. Once activated they come out linearly out of bot and help pushing opponents bot if targeted properly. Its more effective when it’s used in combination with driving mechanism. The use of two rammers in front and rear avoids the necessity of turning when the bot attacks from behind. Also this mechanism keeps the opponent’s bot away and serves as an effective armor.

Lifter(Flipper):
This is another weapon included in the bot design. The primary function of this weapon is to reduce the traction of the opponent’s bot thereby attacking its strength and mobility. The design of this weapon consists of a protruding part coming out of bots body. During combat first this protruding part is initiated to attack the ground clearance of the opponent’s bot. Now the weapon is activated which lifts the opponent’s bot partially or completely above the arena (depending on the opponents weight). This reduces the opponent’s traction and to some extent its mobility thereby making it destabilized. If lifted to a proper inclination and used in combination with driving mechanism it can also flip the opponent’s bot.
