Insaniti is a beetleweight robot designed, machined, and assembled during the 2021-22 schoolyear. It competed in the 2022 Motorama Robot Combat event. Insaniti is a two-wheeled box-shaped robot armed with a large vertically spinning disk weighing approximately 2.8 pounds. This guide will evaluate design considerations and their consequences.

Design Summary
- Weapon
- Vertical spinner - egg beater
- Chasis
- 4WD optimized chassis made of waterjet aluminum
- Drive
- Timing belt driven brushless 4 wheel drive
Positives
Good weapon power and weapon bite, was able to do damage quickly
Drive speed is fast
The steering rate is fast
The structure did not take damage after all fights
Wedgelet setup was able to get under the opponents
Issues
- Issues with the weapon pulley slipping because the teeth on the pulley stripped due to load and friction
- Several electronic issues with wires breaking from repeated bending
- Ears kept falling off due to adhesive not being strong enough
- Weapon belt detaching after spinup from the weapon pulley
Changes to make
- Stronger pulleys for drive (nylon) with taller sides and thin heat insert fit
- Correct belt length for front (56t) (order more belts in general)
- Higher weapon pulley walls
- Magnets/magnet holders for steel floors
- Screws to mount ears
- Stronger main power wire
- Top plate correct spacing to prevent holes breaking and make out of nylon
- Motor cage thicker (flex less)
- Diagonal battery tray
- Stick with the long forks
- Fail safe capable receiver (look at what brand the one we have rn is)
- Increase 3D printed back armour thickness
- Integrated ears on inner side plate
