Max Weapon RPM	6200
Max Joules	120 Joules
Max Bite	0.5 inches
Min Spin Up Time	0.9 seconds
Drive Speed	~4ft per second

Problems

• Weapon is underpowered, theoretically outputting a max of around 120 joules.
• Weapon did not sit level to the ground, angling upwards.
• Could have benefitted from better wheel protection.
• Anomali is incredibly slow, and has no pushing power.
• The internal spacing is incredibly cramped, and there is barely enough room for the electronics.
  • Have to remove a drive side to plug in the battery.

Good aspects

• The geared weapon system is incredibly resilient.
• Our chassis held up remarkably well. The TPU protected the electronics and aluminum standoffs remarkably.
  • Because we made several backup TPU chassis and 1/8 aluminum plates, we were able to swap out any part that took damage.
• The electronics held up very well. The smaller receiver and weapon esc allowed us to fit everything in the chassis.

Changes/Improvements

• Changing to timing belts should improve the efficiency of the weapon system.
  • Use timing belts and 3D printed timing pulleys.
  • Increase diameter of shoulder bolt.
• Chassis design was a bit overkill.
  • Could decrease weight where protection is less needed.
  • Increase space on interior for electronics.
• Add wheel protection

Max Weapon RPM	9500 RPM
Max Joules	275 Joules
Max Bite	0.5 inches
Min Spin Up Time	0.75 seconds
Drive Speed	~12ft per second

Problems

• Anomalii was originally designed for 4s, however had to change to 3s
  • During testing, one of the Dartbox Gecko motors stalled, meaning Anomalii had to switch to Vipers which do not run on 4s.
• Left Viper motor seized after fourth fight
• Could have benefitted from better weapon gear protection
• TPU shell was significantly weaker the Anomali's shell, despite similar settings.
  • This version of TPU was printed on Ultimaker, instead of Prusa.
• Motor shield rubs against weapon motor, causing white smoke to emit during long fights.
• The bot is hard to control after a hit.

Good aspects

• Much faster drive
• Much faster weapon
  • When stuck against a wall, able to use the torque from instantly spinning up the weapon to escape.

Changes/Improvements

• Increase the gap between our weapon motor and motor shield.
• Improve TPU shell print quality (Print on Bamboo).
• Slim down wheel TPU print thickness to better fit in bot.
• Practice with drive and weapon.
• Increase bite.
