Left unsupervised

Background Information

Madeline's first foray into beetle weight combat robots. Name comes from many people proclaiming that "You should not be left unsupervised with CAD and a credit card". The builder has a penchant for creating odd things when not occupied with other things. The signature colors comes from the sponsor of Madeline's Battlebots team HiJinx, Montana cans. Being a painter and ceramic artist boring colors were never going to be an option for Madeline.

Changes between July 2022 and Sept 2022

After the first event, it was discovered that the 3s 850 mah battery used in version 1 was insufficient for a full match with weapon and drive running. The dart boxes proved to be excellent in the power department but direct mounting such large wheels proved to be a weakness for durability and in control. The chassis was also found to be larger than required which increased weight while making the whole robot less durable. All of these were fixed for the September event by making the body smaller, driving the wheels through a gear on the output of the dart box and dead axle for the wheels. All aluminum pieces were replaced with carbon fiber to reduce weight and increase the rigidity of the chassis. Batteries were also upgraded in both capacity and the current rating to reduce voltage sag under load.
