Dorchester, Wisconsin
Engineering, fabrication, product development, and AI-assisted discovery from Dorchester, Wisconsin.
Westar brings together decades of hands-on manufacturing, robotics, custom equipment, specialty products, and new technical discovery initiatives.
Westar LLC is a Dorchester, Wisconsin company built on decades of hands-on manufacturing experience. The company's roots are in waterjet cutting, CNC machining, welding, and custom fabrication — the kind of work that produces real parts for real applications.
Westar's manufacturing and robotics work gained national recognition through Team Whyachi, a BattleBots competitor whose machines have been built and rebuilt in the same Wisconsin shop. That competition history reflects the engineering culture across all of Westar's work: build it to hold up under real conditions.
Beyond fabrication, Westar develops specialty products — including the Udder Gun, a patented agricultural tool for dairy parlor preparation — and has launched Grounded Discovery Labs, a newer initiative focused on AI-assisted technical discovery and engineering research.
MFG.
Waterjet cutting, machining, fabrication, robotics, food-processing equipment, finishes, and custom industrial projects. The core manufacturing arm of Westar LLC.
BattleBots-proven robotics, gearboxes, switches, robot components, custom manufacturing, and Team Whyachi merchandise. Competition-tested engineering available to builders and industry.
A Westar agricultural product brand focused on faster, more consistent parlor prep and teat cleaning. Patented air-operated design built for modern dairy operations.
Westar's AI-assisted discovery and technical-audit initiative, focused on turning hard science and engineering problems into testable concepts, decisive experiments, and review-ready technical packages.
Westar's work spans physical products, fabrication, robotics, and emerging AI-assisted research. The common thread is practical engineering: buildable ideas, testable mechanisms, and clear next steps.
Whether the project is a custom waterjet-cut component, a BattleBots drive system, a dairy parlor tool, or a structured technical review for a hard engineering problem — Westar approaches it the same way: understand the constraints, build to spec, and test against reality.
That discipline, built over decades in a Wisconsin manufacturing shop, is what connects all of Westar's brands and initiatives.
