Name: The Unnamed Feeling
Weight: 50kgs
Shape: The robot is split down the middle into two sections, slightly like Big Nipper. Each side has multiple angles and panels to it, designed to eliminate weaknesses to spinners.
Colour: Silver for the main body, with see-through panels. The two rear skirts and lifting arm are both in red.
Length: 600mm
Width: 500mm
Height: 150mm
Motivation: Four wheels, with two on each side. Each is made of Titanium and has a urethane rubber tread for decent grip on the arena floor.
Drive: Two S28-400 Magmotors powered at 23.1v from A123 M1 Lithium-Ion batteries.
Turning Circle: 0mm on a tank style steer.
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 10mm under every side, other than the front wedges, rear skirts and the lifting arm.
Skirts: Two rear skirts designed to protect against flippers, but can also be used as wedges for pushing. They are made of 5mm thick Titanium and hinged so that they work both ways up.
Armour: The silver parts of the design are all 5mm thick Titanium panels. There are 5mm thick Titanium bulkheads inside for strength. The blue areas are all made from 5mm thick Polycarbonate.
Weapon: The whole red section in the middle of the robot is a lifting arm. It is powered by a single S28-400 Magmotor and can move the lifting arm through the whole 360 degrees of the robot. This means that it can work equally well upside down and even self-right itself if required. It scrapes along the floor and is very effective at getting under opponents and lifting them up and over. The whole arm is made of 3.2mm Hardox.
Self-Righter: The robot can work equally well both ways up, and the lifting arm can also right itself.
Notes: Originally designed for the ARC CAD contest.
Song: The Unnamed Feeling by Metallica
Strengths: Small, quick, armoured well, fully invertible.
Weaknesses: Lars’ snare drum may damage eardrums.
