2lb Competition 2021

• Results:
  • Single Elimination:
    • [W vs Varsiti]

      • Robots high drive speed made maneuverability difficult
      • When the weapon made solid contact, it was able to flip and break armor

      • Flip Guillotini on its side (technically a KO)

OTHER:

Problems

• HDPE axle was poorly improvised and not secure properly (too few threads, should've used Loctite)
• 3D printing manufacturing made it difficult to gauge weight and plan ahead
• Ramp caught on ridges and other imperfect surfaces - bot would have to build up speed to avoid getting stuck
• Wheels were too close to the frame and rubbed on side plates
• Strong hits are reliant on bots being secured against a wall

Good aspects

• Weight was concentrated at the back of the bot, making driving reliable
• Unique shape made it difficult to land a solid hit on the armor
• Weapon shape and upward spin made it great for flipping
• Ramp prevented bot from hitting the wall with the weapon

Notes:

The fly wheel worked great!
