If you are looking for the best way to get into the sport of combat robotics, you came to the right place! The SSP Kit is designed by Seth Schaffer of Team Just ‘Cuz Robotics - also known for competing alongside Bloodsport on the TV show Battlebots! This kit can be built by anyone ages 10 and up. Assembly required and part of the fun! SSP 2.0 brings modularity and upgradability to the next level. More than 220 SSP 1.0 kits are out in the world winning fights and placing in tournaments since 2023. But the sport is always evolving, so the SSP kit must as well. The SSP 2.0 kit has even more options including brushless drive, and supports our new Vertical Spinner addon! The entire bot was redesigned from the ground up, putting everything we’ve learned into making the best beetleweight kit on the planet. With a strong emphasis on design freedom, our customers have done some amazing things with their kits. Want to see what others are doing to their SSP Kits? Check out this mod gallery!

The SSP Kit is relatively safe, although it should be obvious that the servo is pretty powerful and care should be taken to avoid fingers getting stuck in pinch points when the bot is active. But if modified with a spinning weapon, it will be far more dangerous. Testing a robot with an active spinning weapon should never be done while maintaining a line of sight with the robot. Ideally, you should be testing inside an enclosed box or arena with at least 1/4" thick polycarbonate windows or top to see through, and 1/2” or thicker plywood or MDF construction. Operation (Including testing) outside of a suitable arena or test box could cause serious injury.
