			Event Horizon MK8 competed at the April 3rd, 2025 event.

			'''<u>Notable Changes:</u>'''
			*Started using a custom 1320mah battery
			*Reverted to the unmodified and slower shuffler motors for better control
			*Altered the shuffler flexure mechanism to improve durability
			*Changed from S7 hub hears to TPU hub gears to better protect the motors
			*Increased the shield thickness by 1mm
			*Changed from multi-part shield to a single-part shield
			*Added more mounts for the shields
			*Reduced the number of rim bearings from 16 to 8 per side
			*Changed rim bearing axels from steel to TPU
			*Added vertical skids to take impact loads off the rim bearings

			====<u>MK7:</u>====
			[[File:Event Horizon MK7.png\|thumb\|Event Horizon MK7]]
			Event Horizon MK7 competed at the March 1st, 2025 event.

			'''<u>Notable Changes:</u>'''
			*Added grade 5 titanium shields to the rim of the chassis
			*Rolled back the blade design to resemble MK4&5
			*Altered the carbon fiber to better protect the batteries
			*Added a skid to keep the robot level
			*Modified the shuffler motors to roughly quadruple the drive speed
			*Dropped from 2550KV to 1950KV weapon motors to improve battery life and increase weapon torque

			Event Horizon MK6 fought at the inaugural MIT event on December 14th, 2024. This iteration of the bot had a fatal flaw in which the shield would collide with the ground when the robot tipped beyond a certain point. This would result in the robot "jumping" into the air and would ruin the spin-up. Whenever the bot was pushed above 50% throttle it would start to coin and do the jump so the blade had to be run slowly for the entire event which made the shield ineffective. The new shufflers worked extremely well though, so we will be using them in the future. Despite all the issues MK6 managed to win 2 matches before being knocked out.
	Event Horizon MK6 is set to compete at the inaugural MIT event on December 14th.

	Event Horizon MK5 competed at the April 20th event and achieved limited success. In terms of the actual competition, the bot did very poorly, loosing its first match due to the drive motors dying a few seconds in, and loosing its second match from having no drive at all. Despite failing at the event, MK5 was still a huge success in terms of the blade. This iteration made the major change from O-rings to gears and it worked beautifully. Pretty much everything was better regarding the blade for this event, it was faster, stronger, easier to repair, and more durable. The only downside in the weapon system seemed to be heat build up due to the faster speeds, but this can be improved in future iterations. For us, the most notable moment from this event was when Event Horizon was popped up into the wall and the blade hit it with enough force to pierce the first layer, damage the second, and stay embedded with the bot totally off the ground.

	Event Horizon MK4 competed at the September 30th event and did very well. The bot plowed through its first two matches with one-hit KOs before going up against The Loophole-style robot, Booty Brigade. The fight ended with the battery unplugging in Event Horizon, but other than that, there was no structural damage to the robot. After being knocked out of the competition, Event Horizon went up against Chainsaw Kitty in a grudge match. The fight led to Event Horizon ripping all the way through the first polycarbonate cage wall twice and damaging the second once—a first-ever in the 3lb weight class at NHRL. The match ended with the power wire to the receiver getting unplugged, but again, there was no structural damage to the robot.
