Secret fighting robot MAI

There are only 5 days left for the BRONEBOT 2016 competition! February 21-23 in the Olympic will begin grand battles of robots. How can you not look into the MAI workshop? Here, the FAUST team as a part of graduate student Stepan Ignatiev and the head of NICH-7 Vitaly Polyansky is preparing his robot for battle.

The first thing that attracts attention is the half of the MIG-23 combat fighter disassembled into parts right in the middle of the workshop. From the cockpit, they want to assemble an aviation simulator. And from its aviation parts almost all the elements of the robot are assembled and these are good details, because as they explained to me, the MAI deals only with combat aircraft and their department is exactly the destruction of airplanes from different types of weapons.

That is why FAUST decided not to disclose many parameters and not to demonstrate the body of their robot:



The concept partially migrated from the previous robot, there were also strike weapons, but we refused secondary weapons so as not to waste the power of the system on it. We also changed the drive of the weapon from spring to pneumatic in order to increase the force of the blows. Pneumatics are stronger than everyone expects, we removed it from the AKU-170 - such special mounts for bombs.



The ax will also be heavy and very sharp. With his help, we will be able to roll over if we suddenly find ourselves on the back. The percussion mechanism is assembled from pneumatics, the ax itself is fastened with the help of the handle of the MIG-23 steering wheel. In the diagram it is purple, in the photo it is in the center:



The robot moves thanks to two driving wheels, turns with raznotagami. Weight is about 100 kg. The weapon is an ax on a pneumatic drive. Armor - 2mm stainless steel. If the engine is normal, we will manage with the car battery as a battery, and if aviation, then they all work on 27V and have to invent something.



The FAUST team is no longer new to the bot armor - their previous DRAK robot participated in the November battles. And in general, the MAI team has been well known in the robotics world for years. It is significant that in front of the entrance to the university there is their black Volga with an autopilot capable of driving and parking no worse than Tesla. The car made for the competition "Robokross 2012". For the fulfillment of the assignment, V. V. Polyansky decided to present his GAZ 31 car. By the way, at the competitions the car became a favorite of the public and won the audience award .



This car is something inexorable and reminds her heir - DRAK MK2. Previous team robot.



The bet was made on defense - a thin aluminum case hid under two centimeters of thick rubber. Such a combination was supposed to reliably incapacitate enemy saws and tools. varieties of lifting, so it is difficult to hook the bottom.



From the weapon your turn over and lightweight impact hammer. It’s even a pity that the career of the fight didn’t work - he had the fuses lit, and in the final battle the contacts were locked straight and the robot heroically died under the onslaught of the enemy in the final battle.



We wish our Mayevs a fair wind and a decent performance in a fair fight in the Olympic arena on February 21-23 . The guys have five more days to finish everything and show the class.
