Design Basics
Chassis
Overview
Maori's chassis consists of six parts: A top, bottom, front, and back plate as well as two side plates. All of these components are made from 6061 Aluminum. The side plates provide thicker support towards the weapon, while allowing skids to be inserted. Maori's drive modules also fit into the side plates. The front plate allows for belt access between the interior of the robot and the weapon pulley. It also fits into the side plates The bottom and top plates provide slots for interior plastic guards and bolt into the rest of the chassis.

Weapon
Overview
Maori's weapon system consists of a steel drum to cause damage to opponents and two aluminum hubs to interface the weapon with the chassis. The drum is constrained to the hubs with bolts perpendicular to the axis of rotation to minimize loosening caused by vibration. The fork shape of the hubs compromises ease of machining with functionality.
