I don't think you quite get how this place works... but since I think I understand what you would like, there are some kits you can buy from the various parts sellers online. Although strictly speaking, the kits alone without modification will not last more than 30 seconds against anything with a decent weapon. I suggest you read at least some of the Riobots Tutorial (at the top of this section of the forum), because otherwise that money will be down the drain alarmingly fast.

Speaking from experience, don't be in a rush to get a battlebot. Learn how to build them and why we do things a certain way FIRST, then go about either getting a kit and modifying it or making one from scratch yourself. Doing it any other way will only lead to wasted money.

There are no user manuals. If you get one of those kits and build it just as is, with no experience, it will be entirely destroyed after a single match. But hey, if you really want to throw away $300, be my guest.

You might try the rfl (robot fighting league) or some of the other forums linked from there. Maybe someone would sell you one????

No harm in jumping in with a premade robot....you'll learn a lot for sure.

btw: you might want to try introducing yourself in the general discussion area of this forum

That is true - I've heard of people selling used robots on RFL before. That's probably better than going for the kits, although I still recommend learning all the ins and outs of combat robotics design & competitions.
