With an average knockout time of :59 seconds for the 2022-23 season, Riptide is one of the most destructive Battlebots to enter the World Championships. Ethan Kurtz discusses some of the challenges in the design and the solutions that led to Riptide smashing a 250 lb robot into the ceiling of the Battlebots arena for the first time in Battlebots history.
Ethan and the team thank Riptide's key sponsor, the leading manufacturing platform - Xometry.
Ethan spends thousands of hours CAD designing and redesigning this world class bot each year, and sends those designs to be manufactured by machines and materials around the globe.
Riptide's weapon parts are primarily manufactured using CNC machines on Xometry's platform! Riptide is currently building Version 3 of Riptide. Let's Go!!!
