Competitions
UGA Spring Smash 3.0
- Results: 5th Place (2-2)
- Bracket Style: Double Elimination
- Win vs Space Force PN
- Win vs split conclusion
- Loss vs Torbor V2
- Loss vs 180i
- Tomfooleri was a side project plant weight that was designed a few weeks prior to spring smash 3.0 and was built the night before. Expectations were not high but it ended up coming 5th and winning some fights.
- The main takeaways were the lack of bite in the weapon and the lack of room for electronics. Room for the electronics was made with a dermal and a soldering iron. And the weapon was effective mostly out of luck.
- Bracket Style: Double Elimination

Problems
- No space for electronics
- Due to electronics bulging out, bot was no longer invertible
- Weapon had little to no bite
- Weapon ESC shut down after running at full throttle
- Prints had low wall count leading to fragility
- Weapon motor press fit failed
- Amazon boat esc worked but was too bulky
Good aspects
- PLA drive wheels using hot glue as traction worked far better than anticipated
- Weapon motor being hot glued into weapon to supplement press fit was effective
- Parts were very easy to replace with spares (frequently damaged parts were modular)
- Passed safety, competed, and won 2 fights!
Changes/Improvements
- Make space for electronics in chassis
- Make drum with more bite instead of weird beater bar
- Put wheels inside chassis to serve as protection
- More walls when printing less infill
- Some kind of wedge or forks
