About this Bot

Bigger brother of antweight bot Bases Loaded

2wd Hubmotor Horizontal spinner

V1.1 used supplied shoulder bolt for weapon (was to short and backed out every fight)  used PLA+ for drive motor mounts and had failures from that. had weapon motor armor that caused me a ton of trouble

Circle City Clash 2025 - 5-2 2nd Place (win vs Stg. Waddles, RattleCan, Vertical Destruction, Erbert, and ChaosBlitz.  Loss to ChaosBlitz and Lunatic.)

V1.2 used TPU for motor mounts. sourced longer shoulder bolts. changed weapon shape to resist bending my own weapons on impacts.  hub motor blade mount not strong enough to tank out of plane hits (would snap off the mounting tabs)

Smirk 2025 - 4-2 3rd place (Win vs Dagger, Vertical Destruction, Tomahawk 2.0, Tomahawk 2.0.  Loss to Carmine and Lunatic)

Semo Winter wars - 3-2 4th place (win vs Hodag, Neptune, Schizophrenic. loss against Ibprophen and hodag)

V2.1 reduced carbon fiber thickness. adjusted sizing of carbon fiber. machine new stronger hubs for the hub motor (using 4140 steel instead of standard 7075 aluminum) greatly reduced diameter of weapon to go to 1/4" AR500.  upgrade to 6s battery instead of 4s.

Quad Con - 4-2 4th place (win vs Who's Earl, Fingers Crossed, Ibprophen, Fingers Crossed.  Loss against Bone Pick and Who's Earl)  Weapon failures from stators and magnet ring ungluing.

Mayhem at MRRF II - 4-1 3rd place (win vs Joe Hendry Slam, Risky Bisnu, Vertical Destruction, and Lights Out.  Loss to Red Herring)  Weapon Failure moved to over exertion on the stators.  Burned out 3 Stators (they were repaired stators but still)

V2.2 Further optimized carbon fiber - reduced top and bottom to 3mm changed shape quite a bit.  still maintains reach but gives less free hits to verts.  Reduced KV to 750 from 950.
