Problems

  • Gyroscopic effect/weapon placement (weapon was too far forward for wheels to counter, bot was too thin to resist gyroscopic lift)
  • Weapon mount caved in
  • Strength of chassis
  • Major issue: Ramp is too steep (23 degrees)

Good aspects

  • Weapon power
  • Zippy drive
  • Looks snazzy

Changes/Improvements

  • Wheel/Weapon location
  • Rounder chassis to avoid stress points
  • Wedge should be a lower angle and should not span the entire robot's width. (two prongs beside the weapon work better)
