    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)
