@Abracadabra3 on Ace of Sharks Grappler Combat Robot

1h 55m 51s logged

Next iteration: Ace of Sharks 3.2

So far, I have:

  • Strengthened the weapon assembly
  • Added wheel guards
  • Changed the shape of the shark arm to hopefully reach over drum spinners

I also decided I want to improve wheel traction (the grippiness of the wheel) to hopefully get more pushing power. I don’t have time to get funding, design, and iterate a cast polyurethane wheel for this tournament, so I decided I will get rubber cement and experiment with gluing rubber bands, electrical tape (sticky side out), and latex balloons to the foam wheels and see what works best.
