Problems
- Groovi - Motorama Edition
- Nonfunctional drive motor
- Locktight issues/pin in the drive motor was too short
- Was barely enough room for electronics
- Some holes were too small
- Belt was too loose
- Groovii - RoboJackets 20th Anniversary Edition
- Belt was too tight, caused too much torque on the weapon motor and prevented its successful spinup
- Except for that one time in front of the judges after we heat-gunned it
- And promptly decided not to heat-gun it again before our playoffs match (big mistake)
- Except for that one time in front of the judges after we heat-gunned it
- Similar locktight issues to Motorama involving the pinion gear inside the drive motors
- Wheel kept falling off because of a warped hub
- Bearings were warped, which made it a lot harder for the drum to turn as smoothly
- Overweight by 0.04 lb
- Had to drill speed holes and eventually were forced to remove one of the middle steel teeth to avoid disqualification
- Paint job on armor went all over the arena, but at least the top and bottom survived!
- Belt was too tight, caused too much torque on the weapon motor and prevented its successful spinup
Good aspects
- Drum was very solid
- was underweight
- armor was effective
- used hella electrical tape to fix switch (was functional at motorama)
Changes/Improvements
- recalculate belt size, order more backups
- make side plates longer to accommodate electronics
- fix top and bottom plate to accommodate new side plates
- make a proper cutout for switch
- new drive motor
- fix holes in motor mount, side plates, (front plate if possible?)
- push pin in drive motors further
