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.

  • Chasis
    • 4WD optimized chassis made of waterjet aluminum
  • Drive
    • Timing belt driven brushless 4 wheel drive

Positives

Issues

  • There was a possibility of being flipped into a diagonal where the wheels could not move
  • Did not have clearance for inverted mode
  • Switch was stripped due to being in a awkward position and supported by only wires
  • Belt would easily slipped off due to no tension
    • Weapon motor did not adjustable positioning
    • The groove on the pulley was not deep enough
  • Vertical weight savings being aligned with puzzle fit tap holes meant the armor was weak at those tap holes
  • Not very maneuverable
    • Too friction by the aluminum stand
    • Not enough traction from the foam wheel
    • Not enough drive motor power
    • Back wheel drive meant imprecise forward movement(more testing)
    • Center of gravity not being on wheel
