GETTING STARTED IN ROBOTICS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

ZipZop is a simple and effective 150g flipper combat robot kit, intentionally designed to be the easiest way to get started in robot combat.

  • HAVE FUN LEARNING!: Once you've built your kit, you can dive right into the best parts of fighting robots: driving, learning, and upgrading! ZipZop is easy to upgrade, and we'll show you how to get started. Explore 3D modeling, 3D printing, electronics, engineering design, and more!
  • NO CONFUSION: Only two types of screws and one screwdriver for the entire build, a clear step-by-step instruction booklet, and full video walkthrough.
  • NO PROGRAMMING: Connecting your bot to a controller for the first time can be frustrating and confusing, so we've developed a combat-ready SD card that comes with all the driving controls and safety features done for you! Just insert the new SD card, and you'll be able to connect in minutes.
  • NO SOLDERING: ZipZop's wiring harness comes pre-made, with wires cut to exact lengths so every component naturally lands in the right place.
  • TOUGH MATERIAL: The chassis, front forks, and flipper are made of PEBA, a tough, bouncy material that flexes instead of shattering. It's super resilient against impacts and spinning weapons! It can even survive stomps from an 80lb robot!
  • COMPETITION LEGAL: in the 150g fairyweight class per the SPARC ruleset. Go to robotcombatevents.com and register for an event near you!
  • WIDE LOAD: The 240mm width of ZipZop gives you a distinct advantage over smaller opponents!
  • TOP COMPETITOR: Placed top 20 in the nation for 2025!
  • CONTROLLER FOR LIFE: The included RadioMaster Pocket controller works with any future combat robot, drone, or RC vehicle you ever build. It's a buy-it-for-life piece of the kit!
  • SAFE TO DRIVE AT HOME: Unlike bots with spinning weapons (which should only be operated in an arena), ZipZop can be driven at home! Great for driving practice!
  • UNLIMITED UPGRADEABILITY: ZipZop's front forks and wheel guards use "dovetail" slots to make them easy to replace OR upgrade with new forks that you design and print yourself! Base CAD files are included with your purchase. More upgrade tutorials coming soon!
  • ROOM TO EXPERIMENT: The base ZipZop body (without wheels, front forks, top plate, or flipper arm) weighs about ~90g, leaving you ~60g of headroom to design and experiment with swapping in new parts! The possibilities are endless!

Great kit that is really well designed finished product. My wife having never built anything like this before, but followed the easy to understand video and instruction booklet. The one issue that challenged her during the build was solved by looking at excellent troubleshooting guidance.

She loves driving it and is looking forward to her first combat robot event!
