	Legends speak of terrible monstrosities that lurk below the seas. In the greatest and darkest depths of the oceans, it is largely unknown what creatures lurk among the cold shadowed waters. Despite this limitation though, there are those who claim to have glimpsed beyond, to have peered into the yawning abyss. These sequestered members of society stow away to worship and commune with the otherworldly beasts they have seen. And we are those people, for we are the great Crab Cult of Maori. Founded by the King Crab, the cult creates lavish feasts that are held with abandon to honor that great crustacean that creeps below darkened seas. And when the stars are right, it will burst forth and claim its long forgotten Crab Kingdom, an opulent civilization that once held purchase on the ancient continent of Mu. While the rites of our cult are hidden from public view, we engage in the mundane, lying in wait for this great reclamation. Apart from gorging feasts of shell fish, the crab cult constructs effigies of its patron, as manifested through Maori. Named after the Maori people, the war machine itself is built to bring honor and glory to the crab cult, as for every victory it claims in the arena is more fervor towards summoning the King Crab. Some say that the avatar of the King Crab, or Crab King itself, already pervades and scuttles on the world above. However, the Court of the Crab King is not complete with only the king himself. The young and impressionable Prawn Prince, the huge lobster Big B, and the minute crustacean Lil B round out this court, jestered by the festering apostles of Crispi. Regardless, as a member of this corrupted conclave, it is the duty for every Crab Cult member to uphold the Mantle of Crab King. The Mantle is a decree that characterizes how the cult should spread the fervor of the great King Crab. As a proper member, it should be known that every year at least one great feast should take place. The primary or first feast should be a Low Country Boil, in which great heaps of seafood and vegetables are boiled together to create a deliciously cooked pot of fixings. In the Court of the Crab King it is written in the Mantle that the Prawn Prince, or a courtier of equal rank is to oversee the ceremony. In the end, the product of this feast is merriment and camaraderie that keep the Cult close knit. The great Mantle also decrees that Crab Cult members must devote their club time to creating an effigy that is fit for a king. Machining quality is of utmost import, as well as proper design of the effigy. For it is not only written among the stars, but also in the sands below the ocean that those blessed and bound to the King Crab are destined for greatness in the arena. It should be known that to oppose the Mantle is a heresy that has never been known. To change or rewrite the Mantle would be to seek the ire of the King Crab, and would only be attainable through ritual combat. If a Cult member performs their duties well, and so honors the great crustacean, they will earn their own moniker, as a prince or other court position. These titles are not to be passed down, only earned, as it is each member's duty to ensure their place as so written in the Mantle. So, for a Crab Cult initiate reading this, uphold the Mantle, feast and work hard, for you are blessed by the behemoth among the waves.

 The hubs used to constrain the beater bar were made of Aluminum 6061-T6. These parts were machined in house, so ease of machining outweighed high-strength material selection. However, the brunt of forces are received by the beater bar and chassis, meaning high-strength material was not necessary, and in fact benefits the design. This material selection allows deformation of the hubs before the beater bar and chassis (which were more complex parts and thus harder to machine). The hubs interface with the beater bar using a fork-shaped puzzle fit, which constrains axial and radial motion. A dual belt slot was machined into one of the hubs to interface with the weapon motor. Using two belts effectively halves the load on the belts and allows a "built-in" backup belt in the event one is torn by an opponent. The hubs, similarly to the the beater bar, are rotationally symmetric for 180 degrees to avoid skewing the center of mass of the weapon assembly.
-The tensioning system for the weapon pulley relied on a bar with two small bearings to press down on both of the belts (as pictured to the right). When assembled, the plates bent inward so that they were no longer parallel. One solution to this problem would be putting slots in the top and bottom plates into which the pulley plates would fit.

When assembled, the plates bent inward so that they were no longer parallel. One solution to this problem would be putting slots in the top and bottom plates into which the pulley plates would fit.
 The section view of the weapon assembly shows how steel "pins" were bolted into the side plates of the chassis, allowing the bearings which were press-fit into the hubs to have a dead shaft to sit on.

 Maori is a 30lb beater bar robot developed during 2019-2020. Its general design is a love letter to Mandi's design as the new drum type flagship bot for the club. Armed with an S7 heat treated tool steel weapon and large chunks of HDPE armor, Maori is ready to rumble. Has so far never faced competition, but showed promise during development.

	: The Scorpion ESC requires a lot of reprogramming. There is a software available on the scorpion website under the same page the esc was purchased. We were unable to finish getting the ESC to work optimally due to Covid-19 (dab). Out of the box, the motor and ESC have a spin-up of about 15-20 seconds which is unacceptable, but can easily be brought down to a 6 second spinup time with some quick tweaking. Obviously this needs be be brought down lower with more study of the software.		: The Scorpion ESC requires a lot of reprogramming.
