Huski is a beetle-weight battlebot with a vertical spinner design. It was designed with an emphasis on an increased weapon range and weight at the expense of armor, with standoffs to angle the chassis upwards for a greater weapon reach.
Competitions
- Results: 1-2

Problems
- Driving
- Extremely heavy weapon throws off the center of gravity
- Not enough friction between wheels and floor
- Too much friction between the standoffs and the ground
- Lack of Armor
- Wheels were easily torn apart
- Standoffs knocked clean off
- Side plate ripped apart from chassis
Good aspects
- Incredibly powerful weapon due to long range and weight
- Sturdy Chassis
Changes/Improvements
- Improving driving ability
- Shifting the center of mass toward the back
- Adding armor for defense
- Altering side plates
- Transitioning from standoffs
Notes:
- Won both grudge matches against Perri and Hibachi
- Naming inspiration: named after the initial idea to have "sleds" instead of standoffs
