Insaniti is a beetleweight robot designed, machined, and assembled during the 2021-22 schoolyear. It competed in the 2022 Motorama Robot Combat event. Insaniti is a two-wheeled box-shaped robot armed with a large vertically spinning disk weighing approximately 2.8 pounds. This guide will evaluate design considerations and their consequences.

Design Overview and Evaluation

Chassis

Issues: -There was a possibility of being flipped into a diagonal where the wheels could not move -Did not have clearance for inverted mode -Switch was stripped due to being in a awkward position and supported by only wires -Belt would easily slipped off due to no tension

   -Weapon motor did not adjustable positioning
   -The groove on the pulley was not deep enough 

-Vertical weight savings being aligned with puzzle fit tap holes meant the armor was weak at those tap holes -Not very maneuverable

   -Too friction by the aluminum stand
   -Not enough traction from the foam wheel 
   -Not enough drive motor power
   -Back wheel drive meant imprecise forward movement(more testing)  
   -Center of gravity not being on wheel
