Hocki is a Meltybrain, a combat robot that spins itself to attack. Unlike other robots, which have a stationary frame and spinning weapon, in this robot the entire frame is the weapon, and the robot spins itself to attack. This allows the robot to store more energy while spinning slower, which allows for hits to connect better. Such a design requires a control system which uses sensors to estimate the position of the robot. This robot utilizes custom circuitry and software to allow the frame to move, spin, and attack.

Mechanical

Overall Design

One priority in the design is keeping the center of mass centered at the midpoint of the wheels. We selected a 1-tooth design to help with balancing the robot, as the 1 tooth can cancel the weight of the motors in the back.

Systems

Describe structures/mechanisms here such as Drive, Ring, yada yada
