Vertigo
Vertigo is a 3lb vertical spinner. It competed in the NHRL July 19th, September 19th, and December 12th events in 2020, with a 3-6 record.
Vertigo was originally inspired by bots like Tempus and Division. The disk weighs around 400 grams, with the entire weapon weighing in at nearly 1lb. It currently relies heavily on it's relatively powerful drive and low wedge, due to constant weapon issues. It also set out to be unique in that it's chassis is a unibody Onyx chassis, which has been relatively successful in warding off damage.
Vertigo was originally powered by FT beater bar motors and 780botkits motors. The beater bar motors were later changed to propodrives, and the botkits motors, to opboxes.
From September to December, Vertigo's design changed from that of a chassis-reminiscent of Cobalt to that of a far wider, larger profile bot. The weapon size remained the same.
Fun fact: Vertigo was originally meant to be 8x5", but that proved too small to fit the chosen lipo so it was increased to 9x5" for the first version.
