Competitions

Motorama 2022

• Results: 0-3
  • Bracket Style: Double Elimination
    • [(https://youtu.be/vdd1TYPd-1U) Loss vs Melon Bot]
      • After clutching up the safety inspection, the bracket was reshuffled and Velociti went from having a by round to having the first match
      • For a thrilling start to Motorama 2022, Velociti's first opponent was a D2 kit bot wedge
      • After a few hits, the weapon refused to spin up, and wedge vs wedge combat began
      • Despite taking 2 wheels off Melon Bot and landing a pin, Melon Bot was granted a judge decision victory despite the lack of damage to any part of Velociti
      • It is uncertain as to if the weapon motor issue was due to an electrical problem or driver error
    • [(https://youtu.be/U4rhVIlsDw0) Loss vs Starchild]
      • Velociti's next opponent was a large wheeled bot with a controllable arm and a small sawblade at the end
      • Starchild's weapon immediately gave up, likely as a result of intimidation, and Velociti landed a few hits before the belt slipped upwards
      • For the next minute and a half Velociti continuously headbutted Starchild while being slapped by their noodle of an arm
      • Once again, despite taking no discernable damage whatsoever, Velociti lost due to judge decision
  • Grudge Matches
    • [(Video Link) Loss vs Mechanical Advantage]
      • To satiate Velociti's hunger for combat, a random grudge match proposal was accepted against a drum spinner
      • In a shocking turn of events, Velociti's left wheel was unable to spin, likely as a result of the hub being tightened too close to the chasis
      • Once the match began Velociti decided to psyche out the opponent with an advanced tactical maneuver and did an immediate 180
      • A brief moment of contact with the opponent's drum resulted in the instant removal of the back plate, left wheel armor, right wheel armor, and LiPo Battery
  • Robojacket Rumble

Design Summary

• Weapon
  • somtin about weapon shape
  • somtin about pulley system

• Chasis
  • Relatively standard puzzle fit chassis for a horizontal spinner
    • Consists of an aluminum top plate, bottom plate, 2 side plates, and a non load HDPE bearing back plate
  • Main difference being the addition of extensions on the top and bottom plates to attach and guide wheel armor

• Drive
  • As with most horizontal spinners, the drive mechanism involves only 2 drive motors and the robot leans on its front
    • In our case we used a cap nut at the end of our weapon's shoulder bolt to provide a smoother point of contact to lean on

Positives
