Anomali(i) is a horizontal undercutter beetleweight bot. The main concept of Anomali(i) is a bot that is an undercutter in its intended and flipped positions. Anomali utilizes a bent 1/8 6061 top plate, to angle the weapon close to the ground when flipped upside-down.
The chassis for Anomali(i) is primarily made out of a replaceable TPU shell, with a 6061 1/8 top and 1/4 pocketed bottom plate, held together with 6061 hex standoffs.
The original version of Anomali was designed and constructed during the 2022-2023 school year, as a part of the RoboJacket's 3lb program.
The second version of Anomalii was designed and constructed during Fall of 2023.
Anomali placed:
- 5th at State of Franklin Robot Rumble

Problems
- Weapon is underpowered, theoretically outputting a max of around 120 joules.
- Weapon did not sit level to the ground, angling upwards.
- Could have benefitted from better wheel protection.
- Anomali is incredibly slow, and has no pushing power.
- The internal spacing is incredibly cramped, and there is barely enough room for the electronics.
- Have to remove a drive side to plug in the battery.
Good aspects
- The geared weapon system is incredibly resilient.
- Our chassis held up remarkably well. The TPU protected the electronics and aluminum standoffs remarkably.
- Because we made several backup TPU chassis and 1/8 aluminum plates, we were able to swap out any part that took damage.
- The electronics held up very well. The smaller receiver and weapon esc allowed us to fit everything in the chassis.
Changes/Improvements
- Changing to timing belts should improve the efficiency of the weapon system.
- Use timing belts and 3D printed timing pulleys.
- Increase diameter of shoulder bolt.
- Chassis design was a bit overkill.
- Could decrease weight where protection is less needed.
- Increase space on interior for electronics.
- Add wheel protection

Problems
- Anomalii was originally designed for 4s, however had to change to 3s
- During testing, one of the Dartbox Gecko motors stalled, meaning Anomalii had to switch to Vipers which do not run on 4s.
- Left Viper motor seized after fourth fight
- Could have benefitted from better weapon gear protection
- TPU shell was significantly weaker the Anomali's shell, despite similar settings.
- This version of TPU was printed on Ultimaker, instead of Prusa.
- Motor shield rubs against weapon motor, causing white smoke to emit during long fights.
- The bot is hard to control after a hit.
Good aspects
- Much faster drive
- Much faster weapon
- When stuck against a wall, able to use the torque from instantly spinning up the weapon to escape.
Changes/Improvements
- Increase the gap between our weapon motor and motor shield.
- Improve TPU shell print quality (Print on Bamboo).
- Slim down wheel TPU print thickness to better fit in bot.
- Practice with drive and weapon.
- Increase bite.
