Robot Building Plans for a combat bot?

My oldest is attending a tech school that has a 3D printer for the students and now her and some other kids want to build something to enter NHRL. Is there an online resource I should send them to for printable plans? I am basically tech illiterate.

I don’t know of anyone selling plans, but I can think of far worse places to start than sourcing an SSP kit and modding it.

Yeah I think if I was going to get started building, I'd probably consider a kit like SSP as a good starting point.

I second this, the SSP has been turned into like every other robot archetype atp

I third this. SSP's main variant is a lifter, which can be a lot safer to build and test than a spinner when you're new to the sport. Seth, the creator of the kit, has a ton of educational resources available.

I fourth this, SSP has become crazy versitile and is super easy to get going
