Project Liftoff is a melty brain spinner that has competed at Norwalk Havoc 7 times and holds a 10-11 record. (Based on individually uploaded fights on Youtube)
It is capable of dishing out highlight-worthy knockouts, but just as often will destroy itself on the walls of the arena.
The current bot is a 1/4" AR500 ring, with a machined HDPE shell. Maximum RPM is 3500, storing ludicrous kinetic energy that rarely is released in less than 6 wall ricochets.
The bot fought at two events without any melty logic and has since used a wheel-rpm based system running on a teensy 4.0. Wheel RPM has proven to be a challenging method of control inside the arena and any control demonstrated so far has been questionable at best.
