We have just finished designing the second version of the Blender Mini over here at UTDallas. For anyone who dosn’t already know, Blender Mini is UTDallas’ entry into BotsIQ (Battlebots). My team is currently putting together prints for the machine shops. This year’s robot will be using the same spinning shell as last year but that is where the similarities end. Everything from gear ratios to material type has been re-examined and optimized. The entire internal chassis has been completley redesigned. I will keep this site updated with the latest build info.

The whole site is currently being built once more from the ground up. This will make for the 8th Major revision of what was originally called Inertia back in 2001. I am not only rebuilding the look and feel but the back-end is all new and I just finished doing two weeks’ worth of battling IT departments getting my website switched to a different server. All in all, I think the new website will be phenomenally better than the last one.
