Cathii was first designed and built during the 2013-2014 school year. Cathii was designed to be a 30 pound invertable ring spinner. During testing and competition, the ring spun up a few times showing the design is feasable. Overall, the design is very well done, however many small improvements must be done.

Problems:
- Drive Motors are over volted
- Weapon ESCs burned up
- Weapon Belts would bind and stall out the weapon motors
- Overall weight was heavier than the estimated weight(weapon aluminum inserts were removed to account for this)
Changes/Improvements:
- Decrease the main robot voltage
- Look into new weapon ESCs
- Redesign weapon motor system
- Use more powerful drive motors
Cathi V1.1
Very little changes occured in this second iteration. The majority of parts were reused, with some being altered.

| (OTHER:) | (OTHER:) |
Problems:
- The RS-550s performed better than the RS-545s, but still burnt up.
- The Weapon motor controllers continued to burn up.
- The inner pulley diameters were decreased to keep the belts from binding. This resulted in under tensioned belts which failed to transmit the force of the motors.
Changes/Improvements:
