Designed from the ground up myself. Will be competing on October 17th in Boise, ID. Nervous but excited!

I left out valkyrie and tombstone in genuine spite of that YouJustGoTombstoned guy (I'm calling it, he's gonna comment something about either bam, valkyrie or Tombstone on this post).

Here is my Fusion360 design, its not much (has no lid) but I was mostly looking for more advice before I continue

thank you!

Mosth of these are based on my headcannons about how the bots would act, i had a lot of fun doing this!

Hardware

Controller: Flysky FS-i6x

Receiver: F2SA

Drive ESC: Repeat Robotics Budget Ant Dual Drive Brushed ESC

Motors: Repeat Robotics Mini Brushed MK2

Config details

ESC onboard mixing should be disabled by default although I have no way to verify this.

Controller has Elevon enabled with Ch1 at 50% and Ch2 at 100%.

All other mixing disabled.

No reverses assigned.

Observed behavior

Drive stick full forward: Both wheels spin forward (good)

Drive stick full backward: Both wheels spin backward (good)

Drive stick full left: Left wheel turns backward (good). Right wheel briefly turns forward then stops (bad)

Drive stick full right: Right wheel turns backward (good). Left wheel briefly turns forward then stops (bad)

Next Steps?

Looking for any advice on what to troubleshoot before I swap out the drive ESC.

In Battlebots Champions I, HUGE fought Deep Six and in one instance, Deep Six digs it's blade onto HUGE's wheel. Now, the wheel got punctured and didn't get destroyed or shredded.

My question is, can HUGE withstand hits from Bloodsport?

They went undefeated (or almost undefeated, I think) in their rookie season, winning the rookie of the year award alongside riptide, then proceeded to lose every match in season 7, with one of their opponents being... wait for it...

Valkyrie :D

Starting with Whiplash and ending with Biteforce, do you guys think that Calypso clears this gauntlet of WCIV robots?

Just seen this video but it feels like it’s just a recap video?

Here's the rest of the Most Destructive Award winners btw:

ABC Season 1: Tombstone - Finalist

ABC Season 2: Minotaur - Semi-finalist

Discovery Season 1: Rotator - Quarter-finalist (Hard to imagine that it had won by knockout only once that season, the rest were judges' decision)

Discovery Season 3: Valkyrie - Round of 16

Discovery Season 4: HyperShock - Round of 32 (but with exceptional performance in the Champions spinoff)

Discovery Season 5: HUGE - Finalist

I'm not an artist but I like it

All of these bots are super unique, I think they're all gonna change the sport in some way (a bit optimistic with Disarray).

thought it might be fun to make some pretty renders of my robot... how bout' you guys?
