Project Liftoff

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.

Project Liftoff frequently competes with a wedge minibot to slow opponents or push them into the spinning main bot.

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.
