Introduction
This robot had a name before a design. It born when Brian thought to himself, "Hey, it would be really funny if we named a robot Chonki and made it really, really big..." Throughout the design process the robot lived up to its name. Chonki is a 45lb shuffling shell spinner competing in the 30lb weight class. It was developed during 2020-2021. The drive system was iterated from that of Apachi. The weapon system was a brand new concept for BattleBots. The goal of Chonki was to evaluate the viability of shell spinners while taking advantage of the 1.5 time weight multiplier afforded by using a mechanism other than wheels for movement. Has not been to competition due to COVID cancellation, but showed promise during development.
