| Lincoln-Sudbury's new 120.
We haven't built a 120 in a few year so we decided to start off with a simple blade spinner. Examples are Terminal Velocity, Locust of the swarm v2 , and lunatic. | |

| Actually after looking at the cads the frame seems similar to tombstone as well and so we figure we can throw a right angle gearbox on the weapon motor, that way we can easily switch between a vertical and horizantal spinner inbetween matches. this idea seems a little too good to be true to me so please help see any problem i may run into | |

| Due to a sad accident, my computer crashed taking solidworks and all my teams cads with it And solidworks Still hasnt sent us our new licenses for this year so in an effort to keep the schedule going. I redrew it by hand on a large sheet of poster paper. It was my first time drafting something by hand and It made me miss solid works but it didnt come out that bad. It is now hanging on the wall for the whole team to use for reference and i really do advise having large drawings made it just makes everything so much easier. Like you can get stuff from a drawing but there is just something about having a 1:1 scale drawing that just makes everything better. Upon completion of the drawing we commenced cutting the frame pieces and shalll be welding the together by the end of the week. | |

| So i sort of dropped the ball on this one....
Basically the bot was completed but we never ended up testing it fully, I ended up not taking it down to miami because i was by myself and couldn't maintain such a bot on my own.
after I saw the fights I realized It would have gotten raped, because it had too little ground clearance for the floor when oriented for a vertical spinning blade, and there wasn't enough room for the blade to get up to speed before the other robot go close.
So we are basically just switching the direction the blade spins
It is now ONLY a horizontal spinner And the weight saved will allow for some better armor. | |

| Yeah, that's why I nicknamed it "kamakazi"! The weapon in the front causes the maneuverability to decrease and it's over all defense to weaken.
