Meet Molly, my 400-pound robot. For this video, I took her out to see how she deals with some easy rough terrain. She did really well until I tried some loose earth. Still, a very successful test.

  • wtf that thing is massive! lol. How did you get it back? With a pickup truck or something?

  • We pried off the offending track with a high-precision crow bar, dragged her off the hill, and pushed her back into the van. This was the third time we've had to haul a non-functioning robot home after a test. Thankfully this time she was up and running again within the hour.

  • Now I'm not saying that isn't bad ass, but isn't it really just a super tough remote controlled car?

  • No, sir, it's just a super BIG remote controlled car. As you can see from the video, it isn't all that tough.

    The original iteration was completely computer controlled, but the wireless was a little unreliable for my liking. I swapped out the fancy computerized inards for an trusty radio and haven't looked back.

  • why so slow? isn't the etek motor 5hp?

  • 15hp actually, and there are 2 of them. Of course, that's only at 48V. During this taping we were running at 24V and 11:60 reduction. Max speed is 4mph, but it can climb stairs with an extra 400 pounds on board without breaking a sweat.

see all

  • @sugoi49 it's a robot controlled with an R/C controller

  • you need to get sponsored so you can sell these!!!

  • YOU GUYS SEE RESEARCH ROBOT I SEE BATTLE BOT

  • It's big but I don't see it weighing 400lbs.

  • For a 400 lb. robot, Molly can really go.

  • makes a high pitched sound

  • This is cool and all, but it is not a robot; it is an R/C vehicle.

  • The PWM frequency of motors should be changed

  • How does it work on different types of terrain?

    What is its intentions for it?

  • Can you sit on it and then drive ?
