Below are a number of resources to assist you in building a cardboard class robot for KILLSWITCH. If you have questions or requests please drop them in the Mattermost KILLSWITCH Channel!

Chassis Files

Cardboard Class
Basic Rectangular Vertical Spinner .svg file Fully editable in Inkscape, this file should contain everything you need to laser all the necessary cardboard and baltic birch to complete a full, basic cardboard robot. This was designed around the hardware recommended in the wiki.

** Some batteries may be a tight fit in the battery bay, I'd suggest putting a ribbon or similar under the battery to facilitate easy removal if this is the case for you.

Class Style Base - Rectangle .svg file The rectangle version of the class style base.
Class Style Base - Round .svg file The round version of the class style base.


Weapon Files

Cardboard Class
Basic Weapon Designs .svg file Fully editable in Inkscape, these weapons are configured for the red prop drives with the flats on the shaft. There is also a round hub cutout included in the bottom left of the file for the older style gold prop drive motors, simply switch out as needed.

This group are all about 3.5" in diameter but can easily be scaled larger or smaller, just be sure to ungroup from the hub and scale only the red outline!
