Problems

  • Weapon
    • The ball bearings used in the weapon exploded from a weapon-on-weapon impact in our first fight
    • The bolts attaching the weapon motor backed out (we should have used Loctite on them)
    • The weapon was a bit weak, as we had to shave a lot of weight from it the night before the competition
  • Chassis
    • The chassis design was very heavy, which meant that we didn't have enough weight for wheel guards or other improvements
    • The titanium wedge had too much ground clearance, so we weren't able to get under opponents
    • The bolt on the inner part of the wedge got sheared off during our first match
  • Drive
    • Exposed wheels were a liability, as they could be easily attacked by opponents
  • Electronics
    • We had issues with the drive cutting out throughout the competition, which was caused by either a faulty drive ESC or the receiver
    • The power switch was hard to access and we ended up stripping the bolt

Good aspects

  • Weapon
    • Aside from the first match, the weapon was very robust and didn't stop spinning
    • We replaced the bearings with HDPE spacers mid-competition, which was janky but held up surprisingly well
  • Chassis
    • The chassis held up really well, as the only structural damage was the 1/8" aluminum back plate being slightly bent in
    • The wedge did a good job at deflecting hits and didn't take much damage

    • We were able to drive well while inverted and flip ourselves back over by running into a wall
  • Electronics

Changes/Improvements

  • Weapon
    • A lighter weapon motor would be helpful, as we initially planned to use one but weren't able to get it due to supply issues
    • Using 3D printed timing pulleys would also reduce weight
    • With that extra weight, we would probably increase the weight and size of the weapon
