Khasaba is a Middleweight robot from India built by BLANKA BOTZ currently registered to compete at RoboGames 2018. It is a compact, two-wheeled, silver, octagon-shaped robot armed with an extremely powerful vertical flywheel capable of both sending robots flying, and causing massive amounts of destruction.
However it is not invertible, however despite this, the robot, and teams's pedigree, as well as Touro being waitlisted alongside a majority of the Brazilian robots made Khasaba one of the favorites to win a Medal going into the 2018 RoboGames. Despite all the hype around Khashaba it would ultimately drop out of the competition after registration had closed.
Outside RoboGames[]
Khashaba and BLANKA BOTZ in general has had a relatively storied history in Indian Robot Combat where Khashaba first appeared in 2016 and proceeded to win numerous events by completely destroying its opposition, and even becoming the first Indian robot in history to throw an opponent Out of the Arena doing so to Defiance in the IITB 2016 final.
BLANKA BOTZ running off the success of Khashaba then created a Featherweight version of Khashaba named Dara which won the 2'nd 2017 FMB World Cup in China defeating OYES Robotics's Dreamcrusher in the finals. Later that year the team built another Middleweight, this time a drum spinner called Taanji which won the 2017 IITB Techfest, and came in runner-up at the 2018 FMB World Cup Finals after a loss to Karma.
