First 'bot, a featherweight

[Ocracoke]

Hey Ian, welcome to the forum!

The concept is fine, I'd possibly say the design won't hold up well if a vertical spinner comes in from the side or back. As for this...

Concept is a wedge with a spinner towards the top of the wedge which will be mostly enclosed. get opponent on the wedge and hopefully hit their soft underbelly.

...I'd have a set of raised rails (for want of a better word) on either side of the disc running down the sides of wedge to ensure you hit the underside.

The raised rails are a good idea, thanks! I will look at making that change this evening when I get home from work. Other vertical spinners were my concern too, but I am not sure what to do about that at the minute! I guess some vulnerabilities make for a more entertaining fight! Its still early days, so I have a lot to do yet. Going to use drill motors for the drive I think, but not sure on the spinner motor, that will be something I need to research.
