You won\u2019t find it equipped with a powerful spinning weapon, hammer, or flipper. Instead, Claw Viper relies on skilled piloting. It aims to grab the opposing bot and lift it into the air and suplex or dump the opponent onto arena hazards or to prevent the weapon from spinning up.<\/div>\n<div class=\"para\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"para\">To back this up, Claw Viper utilizes four reVolt electric ATV motors for the drive system. To maintain sufficient downforce preventing skidding, neodymium magnets are affixed to the base. This pulls the bot down onto the steel BattleBox arena floor.<\/div>\n<div class=\"para\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/claw-viper-bot-2021-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/claw-viper-bot-2021-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/claw-viper-bot-2021-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/claw-viper-bot-2021-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"para\">The weapon system is driven by two electric skateboard motors. Through a series of planetary gearboxes and additional gearing, 1,000lb\/ft are generated at the base of the grabber to lift the opposing 250lb bots. The four-bar UHMW system is driven by a single input and mechanically limited so the grab-to-lift motion is controlled by a single input.<\/div>\n<div class=\"para\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"para\">To defend against heavily-armed opponents, the Claw Viper is protected by an AR500 armor belt \u2013 composed of about 7 linear feet of AR500 steel pressed into shape.<\/div>\n<div class=\"para\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"para\">Internally, battery packs are held in place with a 3D printed PA6-carbon-fiber 3D print.
