Problems

• The belt did not properly it into the pullet and continuously fell into the stator
• The weapon motor burned out due to a combination of a (possibly) overpowered ESE, an opponent that was resistant to our primary method of attack, and (definitely) incompetent driving
• Weight savings on top and bottom plate led to the deformation of the material and caused the electronics to sag

Good aspects

• Absurdly powerful weapon
• Arguably the peak of Motorama 2020
• Almost successfully completed a self destruct sequence
• Robust design and construction of chassis

Changes/Improvements

• Redesign weapon with aluminum base w/ steel bolts to improve range and redistribute weight for better uses
• Reinforce the top and bottom plates (redesigning, possibly aluminum??)
• Remaking side plates because they got banged up
