- Kitbot drum spinner
- Notes:
- Weird Electrical Issues : weapon spinning vs left drive motor
- Bracket Style: Double Elimination
We suspect the weapon draws too much power and conflicts with our drive esc
- Because of last minute additions for the weapon wheel, some parts stuck outside of our armor and gave a point of access to opponents to crack our top plate open

Problems
- Parts of robot stuck out past the ring, those caught on opponents weapons
- Standoffs for our flywheels were not made to spec (too short -> too much friction)
- Weapon drive wheel constraints were not included in the design, so we had interference issues
- Because of the added friction, weapon spin-up was very finicky
- Some electrical issues caused weird driving and weapon spin-up behavior
- Weapon tooth was replaced with a bolt, which was too small to protect the gap between ring and plates
Good aspects
- Drive was very solid (mechanically)
- Only the top plate usually got damaged, and was easily repaired
Changes/Improvements
- Flywheel tensioning system
- Slot weapon motor mount
- Account for weapon wheel lock
- More room for electronics
- Keep all components within the armor of the ring
- Use different materials (Delrin/Polycarbonate) to allow for some elastic deformation
- Steel weapon teeth
- Machine flywheels and standoffs, and spacers to spec
