Pulsar

Pulsar is a wide heavyweight robot, armed with a 14.5kg single-tooth spinning drum, that competed in the 2016 series of Robot Wars, the series for which the robot was built. The 9000RPM spinning drum is hugely powerful, capable of throwing other robots into the air and overturning them. However, Pulsar’s wheels are exposed overhead, despite the robot not being invertible. The robot features a number of 3D printed parts.

The robot's armour consists of 8mm wear-resistant steel on the front plate and chassis, and 4.5mm ultra-hard steel on the top and base plates. However, the back end protecting the wheels is made only of plastic. A lithium 50V battery powers the robot.

The name Pulsar is derived from a type of neutron star that radiates electromagnetic beams in space.

2016 series
