In This Instructable I'll Show You How To Make My Knex Battle Bot.

Here Is A Video Of My Knex Battle Bot In Action:

The Program I Used Is Called MlCad Knex.

Then Open That Map (Its Called Knex) And In That Map Click MLCad.

I Know There Are Many Steps But Its Just To Make It Easier.

Step 1: Things You Will Need.

Things You Will Need (It May Be Possible That You Need More Or Less Pieces Of One Kind When I Miscounted Myself) :
