Designed by an 11-year-old, engineered by a music major.
Bean Supreme: Refried carries on the control-bot legacy of Team Dummy Bros’ first bot, an SSP kit named Bean Supreme. After experimenting with kinetic weapons on their second bot, Codename Pinto, 11-year-old Razi wanted to return to the fun of driving a control bot and Ben wanted to build a bot inspired by one of his favorites, Wicked Wedge. But on the day they sat down to start CADing, Razi went rogue—coming up with a design that could flip forward like Wicked Wedge but also flip backward while using a simpler mechanism.
This design was first tested as a 1-lb plastic antweight robot named Sour Cream. After just one competition, the design was deemed a success, and Razi declared it would be the focus of Team Dummy Bros’ bot-building efforts. Following multiple iterations as both a plastic ant and a traditional antweight, the pair decided it was time to scale it up to a beetleweight.
Bean Supreme: Refried is all about controlling the match while being able to take a beating in the process. Razi’s driving style is well-suited to control bots, and he’s proven more than capable of forcing opponents into "the thing" using Refried's double-articulating wedge.
