Emotional Dream before March 18th (retired wedge due to Backlash Wave and Jet Lag totaling both of them. Was also a bad design.)
EMOTIONAL DREAM is a 3lb beetleweight combat robot that is based on the [SSP Lifter Kit-> https://justcuzrobotics.com/shop/p/ssp-robot-kit highly recommended] from Just 'Cuz Robotics. It has been heavily modified by the builders to improve its performance and aesthetics. Some of the modifications include:
A custom-made AR500 wedge and a titanium wedge that can slide under and deflect other bots
A vertical spinner that can deliver devastating/controlling hits to its enemies
A carbon fiber sandwiched around a TPU body chassis and uses aluminum standoffs for extra strength and lightness
TPU and titanium side armor that protects the robot from side attacks
Custom wheels that are made to be lighter than the SSP wheels but just as good
A different gearbox ratio from the SSP kit to increase the durability of the robots drive motors
Drive tensioner that prevent the belts from slipping
A custom AR600 weapon with titanium and AR500 spares for different situations
The ability to drive inverted and self-right, but it is usually is too damaged when its flipped to self right. This is because its not very easy to flip me unless I forgot to lock-tight/screw in the weapon mounts. (please remind me)
A custom anti-beater bar configuration and two different types of anti-horizontal configurations for different opponents
Was a experiment for Emotional Damage v2 but it did so good I did not make Emotional Damage v2 (yet, might make for new bot event)
Looses a lot from forgetting to tighten weapon mounts screws. (Again, please remind me I have lost 3 fights now that I think I could have won from forgetting to do this)JRB Photo took a "hero shot" of my bot.(SEP-30th 2023)A custom [UHMW/Carbon Fiber], [Carbon Kevlar Fiber/TPU/Carbon Fiber], [UHMW/TPU] sandwich depending on the opponent and for experimenting.
EMOTIONAL DREAM is a versatile and expressive robot that can adapt to different situations and opponents. It has competed in several NHRL events and has ranked 17th twice in the beetle-weight division. EMOTIONAL DREAM is not just a robot, it is a dream come true for its builder and fans. -ChatGPT (tysm (: )
