| Receiver | Hobby King 2.4Ghz Receiver 6Ch V2 |

| Battery | Turnigy Nano-Tech 1000mAh 3s 45~90c LiPo Pack |
Problems
- In original design, Drive wheels did not fit into chassis, forcing a reprint out of PLA
- Design intended for 3 idler + 1 active wheel on the ring, but weight savings forced a removal of one of the idle wheels, making the ring unstable
- The TPU rings expand under spin, causing them to slip off the bearings and come loose. They also melt and become unable to spin.
- The standoffs were not threaded so a melt fit was required
- The battery sticks out the top
Good aspects
- The tilted ring turned out well
- When working, the weapon had a lot of power compared to the other robots
- Drove well, allowed for good seeding in tournament (won time trial)
- It looked sick
Changes/Improvements
- Use threaded standoffs and larger bolts to hold the robot together with threads instead of melted plastic
- Design enough space for real wheels instead of 3d printed ones
- Use a different material for the idle wheels that does not expand and melt so the ring will last longer
Notes:
Fun facts:
- After initial assembly, the robot was .75 pounds overweight
- The entire robot was reprinted in 10% infill the day before the competition
- A hacksaw was used to cut enough space for the battery to sit on top
Naming inspiration:
- The robot is named after its iconic “wonky” ring.
