Problems

  • Electrical system was the thing that eventually killed us
  • The esc we planned on using was too big to use once we assembled it
  • The replacement esc we used wasn't rated to handle the current that our motor drew
  • Lack of heat shrink and having to rely on electrical tape caused shorts
  • Difficult to assemble
  • Lack of space inside for wires

Good aspects

  • Sturdy structure, took solid strikes and wasn't torn apart
  • Armor was really good at deflecting and taking minor blows
  • Hard hitting weapon
  • Invertablity

Changes/Improvements

  • Possible weight reduction on stucture
  • Focus more on electrical systems
