Insaniti is a beetleweight robot designed, machined, and assembled during the 2021-22 schoolyear. It competed in the 2022 Motorama Robot Combat event. Insaniti is a two-wheeled box-shaped robot armed with a large vertically spinning disk weighing approximately 2.8 pounds. This guide will evaluate design considerations and their consequences.
