Having seen the Starchild variant [[Axis of Evil]] compete in the August 2023 event, Morningstar knew one of the biggest drawbacks to the design was the challenge of lining up hits with the rear-mounted vertical spinner. To fix this, Morningstar combined the big wheels and elongated chassis of Starchild with a horizontal blade, envisioning a robot with a [[Thagomizer]]-style attack pattern that would be easier to drive and land reliable hits with.

Overview

Jot is a 3lb robot designed and built by Max Morningstar, first competing at the January 2024 New Bots event at NHRL. Morningstar came up with the idea to build Jot while reflecting on the 2023 Championships, in which cam lifter Supreme Ruler and corral bot Full Court made deep runs into the 3lb and 12lb brackets respectively, with the latter taking home the Golden Brett in its weight class. Morningstar surmised that a bigwheel bot was the ideal counter to both types of designs, being able to bulldoze over corral bots while also being largely immune to cam lifters, which rely on the low ground clearance typical in meta 4WD vert designs.

In coming up with the Jot design, Morningstar looked towards Starchild for initial inspiration. Having seen the Starchild variant Axis of Evil compete in the August 2023 event, Morningstar knew one of the biggest drawbacks to the design was the challenge of lining up hits with the rear-mounted vertical spinner. To fix this, Morningstar combined the big wheels and elongated chassis of Starchild with a horizontal blade, envisioning a robot with a Thagomizer-style attack pattern that would be easier to drive and land reliable hits with.

Jot's name was inspired by a comedy [sketch] made by the podcasting network Headgum, in which two characters discuss ideas for viral t-shirt designs. Morningstar's robot Four Beet Salad, a 1lb plastic version of the Jot design, is named from another shirt referenced within the same video. Before settling on the name Jot, the robot was originally going to be called Starmizer in an homage to Starchild and Maximizer, the robots most impactful on the Jot design.
