Won most destructive bot in AIME Robotronica  

 

A monocoque ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ TPU chassis with two polyurethane foam wheels modified with ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ to increase grip and ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ steel forks and ⬛️⬛️⬛️ gram vertical spinner mounted on a direct drive AC hub motor attached the the chassis by a ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ mechanism which is then ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ and then ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️ allowing for large, uninterrupted side wedges to protect the weapon.

Designed to be as simple as possible to reduce breaking points, it only needs ⬛️⬛️ screws (not including screws that came with components) all of which can be ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ and strong due to the space available. 

I got into CAD and combat robotics about three months ago (as of my first competitive tournament 4/26/25)and although I had constructed a little antweight wedge in the past, this is the first one entirely designed by me. I have spent weeks building, testing, and rebuilding this thing to make it as good as I can and now I want to prove my worth as an engineer.

I am confident that this robot will do very well either now or with a few small tweaks.
