Problems

• The first belt used in competition snapped due to a weak weld

• The replacement belt had a stronger tension than the previous belt, which ended up pulling the weapon motor into the 3D-printed chassis. This resulted in the robot smoking due to what we assume to be an electrical shortage and was sent to robot jail since everyone thought it was going to explode

Good aspects

• The chassis: very round, very sturdy, very good

• Invertibility

• Plenty of room for electronics

• Used two different plastic material for enhanced armor

• Good center of balance

• Able to spin very quickly

• Easy to drive

• Weapon was good when it worked

Changes/Improvements

• Order custom belts and make sure to have backups

• Different weapon mounting system to avoid possible chassis melting, preferably not using plastic
