Competitions

UGA Spring Smash 3.0

  • Results: 5th Place (2-2)
    • Bracket Style: Double Elimination
      • Win vs Space Force PN
      • Win vs split conclusion
      • Loss vs Torbor V2
      • Loss vs 180i
        • (Tomfooleri was a side project plant weight that was designed a few weeks prior to spring smash 3.0 and was built the night before. Expectations were not high but it ended up coming 5th and winning some fights.)
        • (The main takeaways were the lack of bite in the weapon and the lack of room for electronics. Room for the electronics was made with a dermal and a soldering iron. And the weapon was effective mostly out of luck.))
