DDT is insect weight entertainment at its finest, boasting one of the largest weapons in the 1 lb (antweight) class. However, it doesn't necessarily sacrifice in armor. Version 3 featured a MarkForged 3D printed frame made from a nylon and kevlar composite which is significantly tougher than ABS prints. New to this version is the addition of wheel guards and front belt guard.

  1. Hi! DDT looks like an incredibly scary robot. I am thoroughly impressed by the use of 3D printed nylon-kevlar composite, as I can't recall seeing any other robots that use this material. Furthermore, that weapon is absolutely massive! Your opponents must have been subjected to many intensive repair jobs! Best of luck in the future!
