Competitions
UGA Spring Smash 2.0 - 3lb
- Results: Win/Loss: 1/1
- Bracket Style: Single Elimination
- Win against Finished Robot (Auburn Robotics Club)
- Finished robot showcased a horizontal undercutter. Their robot flipped Bipolariti upside down, and entangled its weapon in Bipolariti's "self-righting" hoops. After the unstick, both robots' weapon belts fell off. Bipolariti's driver reamined in better shape than Finished Robot's, leading to a win.
- Had Finished Robot not gone in for the second hit after they flipped Bipolariti, they never would have entagled themselves and failed their weapon system. Bipolariti won the match by unintentional entanglement.
- Loss against SnowStorm (TheNoLives)
- SnowStorm was a Peter Bar Kit bot using a vertical disk spinnter. Their robot quickly flipped Bipolariti twice, immediately ending the match.
- Bipolariti left the match nearly unscathed. Its lack of invertibility or self-righting ability was absolutely and supremely detrimental. Not only in that fight, but many others.
- Win against Finished Robot (Auburn Robotics Club)
- Bracket Style: Single Elimination

Problems
- Wide and narrow horizontal wheelbase made steering difficult. Turning was extremely sensitive, and consistently driving straight forward was nearly impossible.
- Lack of invertibility/self-righting mechanisms was a critical failure, since bots are almost guaranteed to be flipped in any match. Using a vertical spinner itself, Bipolariti risked flipping itself over every time it made contact with its weapon. Essentially, in order to not get flipped over and lose the match, Bipolariti had to masterfully maneuver to dodge each and every one of its opponent's attacks while being careful about dealing damage back.
- Small weapon disks provided little bite. With the inclusion of the "self-righting" hoops, the weapon disk clearance decreased even more. Compared to many other competitive 3lb battlebots, Bipolariti's weapon was not intimidating.
