A 4WD Whiplash-esque lifter with Jolteon theming, continuing the Eeveelution themes for my full-combat 'bots. 

(Note that this bot does NOT have any electric shock weapons--I do read the rules, and that's not what the name is meant to imply!)

 

V1.0 (11/2024): DartBox Vipers/Robot Power Wasps for drive (direct to front, belts to rear), DartBox HR/Robot Power Wasp for lifter (nylon drive pulley, TPU driven pulley), mostly UHMW panel construction with CF top and bottom and TPU fork mounts.  Tournaments entered: North Dakota Signature 2024

V1.1 (04/2025): Switched to Repeat Compact 1806/ Repeat 35A AM32 for drive, fixed design error in lifter motor pulley.  Tournaments entered: RSL at the Armory in April (2025)

V1.2 (03/2026): Shoehorned in 5M lifter belt (would no longer skip but still didn't have enough torque). Tournaments entered: Robobrawl 2026

V2.0 (??): Will have indirect drive for all wheels and a much steeper reduction for the lifter; details/timeline TBD.
