When builders Alex and Gabriel Brown were coming up with an idea for their first beetle, they wanted to make something innovative and fun. When they decided to build a flamethrower, they had no previous experience working with fuel or fire, and didn't think their bot would be highly competitive. Hence, they named the robot Clyde, after the orange ghost in Pacman who is famous for doing a very poor job of chasing Pacman and not being as smart as the other ghosts.
Clyde has come a long way since it's first competition in April, when it's flamethrower was just a lighter refill container pushed by a servo. The latest iteration of Clyde's burner utilizes a Frosty-T burner design commonly used in homemade forge burners for blacksmiths. This design uses the venturii effect to pull in air from holes at the back of the robot that mixes with the fuel in the burner to get a more neutral flame. Ignition has been a challenge for Clyde, and the bot has gone through several different ignition strategies. One challenge of ignition with Clyde's burner is that the center of the burner must be as obstructed as little as possible to not disrupt the air flow that helps the burner reach higher temperatures. This has lead to some unreliable ignition, and at the March competition it was only able to ignite once at the start of matches. When the bot failed to ignite at the start of matches, it had no flame throughout the match. Fortunately, the bot has enough fuel for the full 3 minutes, and plans to improve ignition to be more reliable for future competitions.
Clyde was the first flamethrower robot to ever qualify for the NHRL championships!
