MegaBots at Maker Faire 2015: World Debut of the Mk. II Mech
In January of 2015, MegaBots and Autodesk partnered up to challenge makers from around the world to design the armor paneling of miniature MegaBots to show what our final walking robots might look like, and a reloading left arm cannon for our full-scale MegaBot. We then turned the torso shell and right arm of our Mk. I upper body prototype into a full-scale, 15 foot tall, 6 ton tracked mech that has the ability to drive, stand, torso twist, and fire interchangeable weapons from both arms.
The Mk. II is a tracked prototype of the walking mechs were gearing up to start designing and building. Its roughly the same size and weight as our final robots will be, with similar abilities to change out weapon systems and armor paneling.
