  Problems

  • Electronics were not secured properly
  • Electrical shorts were common
  • Not enough space for electronics - they were packed dangerously
  • Bar holding the weapon was the weakest link
  • Asymmetrical slots for the back plates

  Good aspects

  • Weapon was powerful - Steel with a high RPM
  • Could drive up side down
  • Had a wedge at the back

   Changes/Improvements

  • Stronger bearings holding the weapon
  • More space for the electronics
  • Guards for the electronics in the front, seperating them from the weapon
  • Consider making the pulley a part of the weapon so that it does not have to be bolted on
  • Better symmetry
  • Solder the electronics
  • Make the body out of mostly plastic to reduce the weight with thin metal guards
  • Consider removing wedge and making the back of Vicki curved
  • Have less open gaps (there should be guards between the weapon and the rest of the robot)
