This is PHLUFFY, a new bot built for the March 6, 2023 contest. No real expectations as yet as to success. I just started making robots for combat at the beginning of 2023 and am still learning how to drive.

The basic weapon system is a pair of counter-rotating spinner cones that are meant to catch the opponent and lift it up off of the floor while trying to whittle away at its structures. Or, rotate in the opposite direction to grind away at the exposed components such as tires, plastic guards and such.

Update 8/21/2023: Well I had a great time at the March Norwalk. Had three matches and everyone was kind to me, expect for the competition. Spent a lot of time recovering from each match due to poor engineering of the weapons systems. Thanks to my son who was a great pit crew who help me get back in the box each time. (Now he is building a 3lb bot). But fear not (or maybe you should), Phluffy is coming back with a vengeance and a new weapon system that WILL make sparks. Also brushless all around. Trying to qualify for November. Stay tuned.
