The Lethal Swan

The Lethal Swan was a robot based on a swan that competed in both series of Dutch robot wars. It had an axe as a weapon, but was weakly armoured and lost all 3 battles it fought in.

"To avoid a 13 in a dozen robot building has long thought, what the final form should be. Ultimately the idea was born for this brutal fighting robot to a swan. His head looks like at first sight is cute. But in the arena like a swan that turns real killer. The weapon is hidden in his head. This is because a point chisel built. The weapon is powered by pneumatics. The swan shares a blow by bending his neck down. The head bends forward at once to his mouth to destroy the opponent. Of course the swan is also equipped with a few delicate wings. These have given them a tactical function. They can serve as srimech. Each wing is individually powered by a linear actuator. The whole frame is a box beams with a sheet on which housing is dressed in terry. Driving the robot is done by two wheelchair motors that run at a voltage of 24 volts. All electronics for the robot to control / drive is to be designed and constructed, largely based around a microcontroller."
