Wins/Losses	13/5
Anomalii (2023)

Wins/Losses	2/2

Anomali(i) is a horizontal undercutter beetleweight bot. The main concept of Anomali(i) is a bot that is an undercutter in its intended and flipped positions. Anomali utilizes a bent 1/8 6061 top plate, to angle the weapon close to the ground when flipped upside-down.

The chassis for Anomali(i) is primarily made out of a replaceable TPU shell, with a 6061 1/8 top and 1/4 pocketed bottom plate, held together with 6061 hex standoffs.

The original version of Anomali was designed and constructed during the 2022-2023 school year, as a part of the RoboJacket's 3lb program.

The second version of [Anomalii | https://www.behance.net/gallery/188652653/Anomalii] was designed and constructed during Fall of 2023.

Problems

Weapon is underpowered, theoretically outputting a max of around 120 joules.
Weapon did not sit level to the ground, angling upwards.
Could have benefitted from better wheel protection.
Anomali is incredibly slow, and has no pushing power.
The internal spacing is incredibly cramped, and there is barely enough room for the electronics.
- Have to remove a drive side to plug in the battery.

Good aspects

The geared weapon system is incredibly resilient.
Our chassis held up remarkably well. The TPU protected the electronics and aluminum standoffs remarkably.
- Because we made several backup TPU chassis and 1/8 aluminum plates, we were able to swap out any part that took damage.
The electronics held up very well. The smaller receiver and weapon esc allowed us to fit everything in the chassis.

Changes/Improvements

Changing to timing belts should improve the efficiency of the weapon system.
- Use timing belts and 3D printed timing pulleys.
- Increase diameter of shoulder bolt.
Chassis design was a bit overkill.
- Could decrease weight where protection is less needed.
- Increase space on interior for electronics.
Add wheel protection

Problems

Anomalii was originally designed for 4s, however had to change to 3s
- During testing, one of the Dartbox Gecko motors stalled, meaning Anomalii had to switch to Vipers which do not run on 4s.
Left Viper motor seized after fourth fight
Could have benefitted from better weapon gear protection
TPU shell was significantly weaker the Anomali's shell, despite similar settings.
- This version of TPU was printed on Ultimaker, instead of Prusa.
Motor shield rubs against weapon motor, causing white smoke to emit during long fights.
The bot is hard to control after a hit.
