Problems
- Weapon motor lacked sufficient torque to maintain speed after making contact with another bot
- Battery was not secured properly and was disconnected at the UGA smash match
- Flashing of firmware needed for weapon ESC
- Wire management caused problems during on-site repair, so we need a better way.
- Bordered on the edge of overweight, making even minimal changes nearly impossible to do without going over.
Good aspects
- Extremely Durable TPU shell, held up against Mr. Scrubbles with ease
- Fast drive motors made retreat almost always an option
- Weapon drive has not run into any problems
Changes/Improvements
- Mainly motor problems -- we needed a higher power motor (without going too high)
- Perhaps a 1000-1250 KV motor?
