Introduction
Chonki is a 45lb shuffling shell spinner competing in the 30lb weight class. It was developed during 2020-2021. The drive system was iterated from that of Apachi. The weapon system was a brand new concept for BattleBots. The goal of Chonki was to evaluate the viability of shell spinners while taking advantage of the 1.5 time weight multiplier afforded by using a mechanism other than wheels for movement. Has not been to competition due to COVID cancellation, but showed promise during development.

Nested Concept
Originally the shell was designed as a series of rings with progressively increasing diameters. These rings would then be joined together through welding.
