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. If it were not, the kinematic center of rotation would be far from the dynamic center of rotation, resulting in drift and preventing the accelerometers from accurately measuring the centripetal acceleration. Thus care is taken in the placement of interior and exterior components to balance the robot.
We selected a 1-tooth design as the 1 tooth can cancel the weight of the motors in the back.
Another priority is increasing the moment of inertia as much as possible by moving components outwards
