Barbi is a bar beater that beats bars. 

== Competitions ==

=== [[Motorama_2020|Motorama 2020]] ===

*Results: 1-2
**Bracket Style: Double Elimination
***[(Video Link) Victory vs Pipe Bomb]
****Barbi's debut in its new Barbi world ended with a Pipe Bomb exploding.
****After several moments of confused flailing, Pipe Bomb formed an intimate connection with our weapon that resulted in the formation of a new multi-bot, Pipe and Bomb.
***[(Video Link) Defeat vs No Regrets]
****Barbi's next match escalated to a perilous, high-stakes match against a piece of plastic on wheels.
****After getting crowded by the multi-bot's wedge and plastic wall combo, Barbi failed to win the hearts of the judges.
***[(Video Link) Defeat vs Telefrag]
****Barbi's final match in Motorama revealed a key and oft-overlooked element of robotic combat: the weapon actually spinning.
****Following the bone-chilling realization that the weapon was completely immobile, Barbi decided to assert dominance by attacking Telefrag's weapon with our bottom plate.

==== Problems ====

* The belt did not properly fit into the pulley and continuously fell into the stator
* The weapon motor burned out due to a combination of a (possibly) overpowered ESC, an opponent that was resistant to our primary method of attack, and (definitely) incompetent driving
* Weight savings on top and bottom plate led to the deformation of the material and caused the electronics to sag

==== Good aspects ====

* Absurdly powerful weapon 
* Robust design and construction of chassis
* Almost successfully completed a self destruct sequence
* Arguably the peak of Motorama 2020

==== Changes/Improvements ====

* Redesign weapon with aluminum base and steel teeth to improve range and redistribute weight for better uses
* Reinforce the top and bottom plates (redesigning, possibly aluminum??)
* Remaking side plates because they got right properly banged up
* Redesigning the hubs to properly constrain the belt
