Problems
- The ball bearings used in the weapon exploded from a weapon-on-weapon impact in our first fight
- The chassis design was very heavy, which meant that we didn't have enough weight for wheel guards and had to make the weapon lighter the night before the competition
- The titanium wedge had too much ground clearance, so we weren't able to get under opponents
- The bolt on the inner part of the wedge got sheared off during our first match
- Exposed wheels were a liability, as they could be easily attacked by opponents
- We had issues with the drive cutting out throughout the competition, which was caused by either a faulty drive ESC or the receiver
Good aspects
- Aside from the first match, the weapon was very robust. We replaced the bearings with HDPE spacers mid-competition, which held up surprisingly well
- The chassis held up really well, as the only structural damage was the 1/8" aluminum back plate being slightly bent in
- The wedge did a good job at deflecting hits and didn't take much damage
- We coated the wheels with latex, which gave us pretty good traction. We were able to drive well while inverted and flip ourselves back over by running into a wall
- We left plenty of space for electronics, which made it easy to fit all of them in the robot
Changes/Improvements
- A lighter weapon motor would be helpful, as we initially planned to use one but weren't able to get it due to supply issues
- With that extra weight, we would probably increase the weight and size of the weapon
