SR-624 Blackwidow
Blackwidow is a sumo robot that I have built for the Louisiana Tech University's annual IEEE Robotic Sumo tournament.
Specs:
1, Dimension: 10in x 6in x 3in
2, GreenDot wheels
3, 14.4V DC cordless drill battery, 2x12A Sabertooth motor control
4, Sheet metal worked chassis (steel)
6, Weight: 6.4 lbf
Funded, Designed, and Fabricated: Augustine Aelevanthara
CAD Platform: Solidworks 2013
Blackwidow secured 2nd Place in IEEE's Sumo Robot Competition on 13th April, 2013. The 6.4 lbf robot lost to its 50.1 lbf opponent in a 2:1 battle. its successor is currently under construction called TYPHOON.

I have had 160lb people riding on this robot without stalling the motor. Thats as much weight i am confident to test before the 1/8 steel sheet frame start to warp and buckle.
