Two high schoolers go all in on their first fighting robot

Meet Run N Gun, a flamethrower bot that uses pixie drive, built by high schoolers Dalton Johann & Seth King. It may be their first time building a combat robot but they went all in. A brawl is surely brewing!

Honestly, making an omnidirectional flamethrower for your first ever robot is just impressive.

I love seeing unique and creative robot designs like this!

of course a bot from salem would use fire

A very cool robot, but to anyone watching, do not trust their assessment on lexan as armor. The lexan works as well as it does on the arena walls because it can flex like crazy. In combat robots, rigidly mounted lexan is too brittle as armor even at the 1lb scale (just look at stock viper kits), let alone the 3lb scale

It’s always a goofy time with NHRL and I love it

[matholameu]

Damn. We will watch their career with great interest. Smart lads.

“Shoot for the stars” ^.^ cute. Go guys go!! We believe in ya. I hope they keep making robots!!

Pixie Drive controls are basically how you control your character in a video game.

Cup head’s music is just hitting different when the bot is called Run & Gun

[wristofkings]

This design is wild and I'm completely here for it. Might need more than one flamethrower though to be effective, or give the existing one a more focused flame to make up for the lack of pushing traction.

“If it’s good enough for the cage, it’s good enough for the bot”

Absolute mad lads.

[ChrisSmout]

Strafe capable and a flamethrower for their first bot? Well done lads, hope you enjoy yourselves out there and learn a lot

[VoltageTripwire]

I mean, if you're gonna go big, go for a pixie drive, great stuff lads, can't wait to see Run n Gun evolve.

[hypernovasoup]

They’re from my hometown!! That’s awesome! Cheering them on from home 👏👏👏

[kirstenwyatt]

I love the thought they put into this!

[yelonade]

I love their matching tye dye shirts!!!

[Masonandmyfailure]

I love how u put the cup head run and gun theme for this bot

[zen_ccg]

Go big or go home, lads, and I don't see a plane ticket anywhere around here!

They... reinvented the wheel
Successfully, even

Depth Charge: "Yeah yeah, totally agree! Good enough for the cage, good enough for the bot! Haha! Yeah!"

"pixie drive" is a new name for omniwheels.
