Problems

• (List of Problems, 1 per bullet point)

- Our belt was too tight around the motor and weapon, which may have been the cause of the weapon failing to spin up on occasion.

- Putting together our weapon assembly was time consuming and difficult

- Screws shearing due to a drum spinner which gave hits to our bottom plate

- Wiring packing would bump up against our drive motors and cause them to lock up, even after zip tying

- Weapon deformation after hit, which destroyed our bearing and made us unable to spin up

- Driving on skids was difficult

- The gearboxes started falling apart

- Some of our holes which could have been through-holes were not. Therefore it made finding the right size screw difficult.

- ESCs were malfunctioning

- it catcheded on fire

Good aspects

• (List of good aspects, 1 per bullet point)

- Our bot was invertable due to our fins

- The armor held up well under hard hits and pressure

- The wedges held up surprisingly well

- Robot structure was sound and did well under hits

- When our weapon could actually spin up, it was able to do significant damage

- We could easily replace broken parts

- Our name was pretty litty

Changes/Improvements

• (List of suggested improvements/changes, 1 per bullet point)

- We need to make the back plate less susceptible to hits from below, which allowed other bot to get underneath us. Perhaps a taco?

- Weapon needs to be redesigned to be thicker and not deform

- A new ESC that can actually start our weapon up

- We also need stronger bearing that can actually handle the hits

- Change the weapon shaft thickness to keep it from bending

- Wrap our wheels in electrical tape for added friction to make driving easier
