Ki

Ki is a senior-designed 3lber, introduced as a project to test out experimental 3lber ideas. It was designed and built during the Summer and early Fall of 2016 for Sparkfun, a competition in Colorado.

It was then redesigned for Motorama 2017.

Its central concept is an asymmetrical horizontal bar spinner. The original design's horizontal bar looked like a key, hence the name.

Competitions

Sparkfun 2016

Results: 1-2

Bracket type: double elimination

• Loss vs Margin of Safety
  • First fight against Margin of Safety. Great odds.
  • At first, Ki and Margin are exchanging weapon hits. This pattern soon ends as Margin rips off all 3 armor pieces. Ki loses by tapout.

• Win vs Kamikaze
  • Kamikaze is a full-body bar spinner with an ABS frame and massive weapon.
  • Kamikaze and Ki exchange blows for around 30 seconds, after which Kamikaze tears Ki's back armor off. It then ricochets, breaking its own ABS chassis and KO'ing itself.
