Issues

• There was a possibility of being flipped into a diagonal where the wheels could not move
• Did not have clearance for inverted mode
• Switch was stripped due to being in a awkward position and supported by only wires
• Belt would easily slipped off due to no tension
• Weapon motor did not adjustable positioning
  • The groove on the pulley was not deep enough
• Vertical weight savings being aligned with puzzle fit tap holes meant the armor was weak at those tap holes
• Not very maneuverable
  • Too friction by the aluminum stand
    • Not enough traction from the foam wheel
  • Not enough drive motor power
  • Back wheel drive meant imprecise forward movement(more testing)
  • Center of gravity not being on wheel
