Built by the talented team RoboSharks, Mirage is a formidable contender in the 30-pound weight class, despite its actual weight of 45 pounds. This shuffling vertical spinner boasts an impressive 11-inch vertical disk that weighs 10.5 pounds, making it a heavy hitter in the combat robotics arena.
Mirage's journey began with a tight timeline; the design process only started after the robot was accepted to compete in the June 22nd event. The RoboSharks team worked tirelessly to complete the build, finishing the robot just two days before the competition. Despite the rush, Mirage proved its mettle by securing second place in its debut event. This rapid development process is a testament to the team's dedication and engineering prowess, showcasing their ability to produce a competitive robot under pressure. Mirage made an impactful debut, immediately catching the attention of both competitors and spectators. In its first event, the robot's performance was notable not just for its impressive design but also for its sheer power. The 11-inch vertical disk delivered devastating blows to opponents, demonstrating the effectiveness of the design. Unfortunately, in the final match, Mirage encountered weapon issues that ultimately cost it the top spot. Nevertheless, securing second place in its first outing was a remarkable achievement, especially given the short timeframe for preparation.
One of Mirage's standout features is its shuffling mechanism. Unlike traditional wheeled robots, shuffling bots offer a unique movement style that can provide strategic advantages in combat. The shuffling movement can make it more difficult for opponents to predict and counteract Mirage's attacks. Coupled with the heavy, 10.5-pound vertical disk, Mirage is designed to deliver powerful, precise hits that can quickly turn the tide of a battle.
Having qualified for the 2024 championship, Mirage is set to make waves in the combat robotics world. The RoboSharks team is undoubtedly refining and enhancing the robot, addressing any issues encountered during its initial outing. This continuous improvement mindset is crucial in the highly competitive world of combat robotics, where innovation and adaptation are key to success.
