Strange Parts Builds a BattleBot with REV Robotics

In this Strange Parts video, Scotty joins the folks at REV Robotics to build a very scary BattleBot, called Switchback.

The bot is 250 lbs with an 80 lb drum spinner on the end of a 180-degree articulating arm. 11 engineers worked on the project.

It’s amazing to see their genuine caution and fear when they first spin up Switchback’s weapon.
