Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[Ocracoke]

With regards to tip speed limits, Shrekt ran at half speed (~100mph) at Bolton and still caused a fair amount of damage, so that’s not really a solution either.

This I can attest to. Azriel took damage from Get Shrekt when it was hit front on, taking out a 6mm polycarbonate wedge (and I seem to recall Azriel was turned over by Get Shrekt as well from either this or a second impact). With regards to the tip speed, I simply put it out there as a point of discussion. I don't claim to be au fait with the physics of spinners.

I do have to agree, spinner melees are tough and I think Neon ultimately exposed a design flaw in that it was able to catch the back end of Coolspeedbot 2 and apply full pressure on it to peel it the way it did. Perhaps a fully welded back end section may have helped though looking at the design again, perhaps more anchorage points instead to allow the side armour to come off?
