Problems

  • The cleats were too spikey, leading to too much grip and poor handling. They had to be filed down in an attempt to gain some semblance of a turning radius.
  • The robot's wheels were too large (in order to give clearance to the weapon), leading to a large gap underneath which an undercutter could use to destroy the drive wheels.
  • The pulleys on the weapon were made of a weak material and did not have high walls, leading to belt tension issues and a failure to keep the belts on during combat.
  • The TPU wheel armor was integrated in a way that made it difficult to remove, which made accessing the wheels for repairs challenging.
  • The screws on the outer front wheel cleats interfered with the drive belt, meaning those cleats had to be removed. Additionally, the rear outer cleats had to be removed to get underweight.
  • The CAD contained numerous errors and omissions of fasteners, leading to inaccurate weight calculations and oversights.

Good aspects

  • The robot was invert-able, meaning it had the capability to drive even when flipped.
  • The weapon was lightweight, giving it a very rapid spin-up time.
  • The walls were made of UHMW, which is a strong material able to resist impacts.
  • The wheel armor was made of TPU, which absorbs impacts well and does not shatter like other 3D-printable materials.
  • The body components were puzzle-fit, allowing for a strong body that did not come apart easily.
  • The electronic components were wired together using WAGO connectors, which are modular allowing for easy repair and salvage of those components.
  • The top aluminum panel had a cool design on it.
