Problems
- Electronics were not secured properly
- Electrical shorts were common
- Not enough space for electronics - they were packed dangerously
- Bar holding the weapon was the weakest link
- Asymmetrical slots for the back plates
Good aspects
- Weapon was powerful - Steel with a high RPM
- Could drive up side down
- Had a wedge at the back
Changes/Improvements
- Stronger bearings holding the weapon
- More space for the electronics
- Guards for the electronics in the front, seperating them from the weapon
- Consider making the pulley a part of the weapon so that it does not have to be bolted on
- Better symmetry
- Solder the electronics
- Make the body out of mostly plastic to reduce the weight with thin metal guards
- Consider removing wedge and making the back of Vicki curved
- Eliminate corners from the design
- Have less open gaps (there should be guards between the weapon and the rest of the robot)
