A 3lb shell spinner made in the style of Chonkiii. Skinn0 was named without the "i" as Skinni was intended to have shufflers so Skinn0 represents a negative iteration.

Design Summary
Pretty much designed and built in a week specifically for the December In House Competition 2023 hosted by Ryan and it was due to this short timeline that a wheeled version was created. The chassis consists of a TPU clamshell with an aluminum top and bottom plate. The shell is mostly printed TPU with an aluminum top plate for contact with the wheel and AR teeth.
Problems
- Weapon
- Tooth mounts need more material
- 1/8 in aluminum top plate prone to bending
- Rubber wheel wore down relatively quickly, could have been due to the sandblasted top plate
- Would lose contact with wheel, need supporting roller on other side
- A little unbalanced, making drive hard
- Chassis
- The wood screws were convenient at the time but opening up the chassis was kind of annoying due to how long the screws were
- The motor mounts would heat up enough to melt through the TPU holding it in
- Drive
- 2 Wheel drive centered on the middle of the robot is very wobbly and hard to control
- Lack of traction exacerbated the unbalanced weapon problem and the chassis would constantly rotate in use
Not Problems
- Weapon
- Spinup was surprisingly good considering the relatively small motor
- Tooth design was nice and sharp
- Chassis
- Clamshell design was very effective considering the little manufacturing effort and parts required
