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 to 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 robot's 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 is an esoteric reference to 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 Jot, is named for another reference within the same video.
Before settling on the name Jot, the robot was originally going to be called Starmizer as an homage to Starchild and Maximizer, the two robots most impactful on the Jot design.

Jot vs Terminus
Jot's first qualifying fight of the January event, and indeed of its career, was slated to be against Terminus, a hammersaw built by the robotics team from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The fight would have been an interesting one and potentially a devastating loss for Jot, since due to weight contraints Jot only had 1mm of TPU top and bottom armor on its main chassis. Unfortunately, Terminus had issues with belt tension on both its hammersaw arm and drivetrain, and was unable to pass safety in time to compete in the match. Under the new 2024 ruleset, Jot was awarded its first ever win, by forfeit.
Jot vs Little Melty
Jot's second fight was against another Rose-Hulman bot, Little Melty. Little Melty, as its name suggests, was a meltybrain design where the entire robot would spin up to high RPMs, turning its own chassis into its primary weapon.
This was a lucky break for Jot, as unbeknownst to the Little Melty team the hub holding Jot's wheel onto its drive axle was loose, and the wheel had begun to creep towards the edge of the axle. Had it fallen off, Jot may have disabled itself without ever coming into hard contact with Little Melty.
