Actuation: Dynamixel AX-12
Video System: 5.8GHz Camera w Diversity Receiver Monitor
Controller: DFRobot Wireless GamePad for V2.0 Arduino
Gait: '99 Gait Engine with Inverse Kinematics
Highlights: The philosophy behind '99 is simplicity and reliability. It has a a single axis turret (accomplishes aiming in the yaw axis using body motion only) and has a single mother board for control, communication, and gun firing. Its gun design is also the simplest of the club Mechs but still is accurate and has a high rate of fire. Due to its light weight, it is still a fast Mech even though it uses less powerful actuators than many of the other club Mechs. '99s tactic is often to close in in its competitors using its speed and high rate of fire to attempt to get the advantage.

Highlights: Nomad is one of the older Mechs in the RTEAM club and has many competitions and wins under its belt. One of Nomad's favorite tactics is long range sniping and it often gets the jump on its opponents taking an early lead. Its dual camera system makes it not easy to sneak up on as well. Nomad can be unreliable at times and mechanical breakdowns have lost it more than one match. Nomad has recently undergone actuator upgrades to keep pace with the speed upgrades of other club Mechs.
