Welcome to the dedicated page unveiling the journey behind Bipolariti, a 3lb battlebot with dual oppositely spinning vertical disks. Designed and machined by Georgia Tech students of the RoboJackets organization, explore our design process, challenges, breakthroughs, and documentation through videos and imagery. From workshop inception to battlefield triumphs, delve into Bipolariti's story, celebrating the creativity and ingenuity behind its creation.

Competitions

UGA Spring Smash 2.0 - 3lb

  • Results: Win/Loss: 1/1
    • Bracket Style: Single Elimination
      • Win against Finished Robot (Auburn Robotics Club)
        • Finished robot showcased a horizontal undercutter. Their robot flipped Bipolariti upside down, and entangled its weapon in Bipolariti's "self-righting" hoops. After the unstick, both robots' weapon belts fell off. Bipolariti's driver reamined in better shape than Finished Robot's, leading to a win.
        • Had Finished Robot not gone in for the second hit after they flipped Bipolariti, they never would have entagled themselves and failed their weapon system. Bipolariti won the match by unintentional entanglement.
      • Loss against SnowStorm (TheNoLives)
        • SnowStorm was a Peter Bar Kit bot using a vertical disk spinnter. Their robot quickly flipped Bipolariti twice, immediately ending the match.
        • Bipolariti left the match nearly unscathed. Its lack of invertibility or self-righting ability was absolutely and supremely detrimental. Not only in that fight, but many others.
