3D model description

This was the first fairy/antweight (150g) bot I designed with my kids. We took some inspiration from the Wedge of Doom and Firestorm. The entire bot was designed using TinkerCAD. Its uses 2 9g continuous rotation servos with 60mm wheels and a 9g servo for the flipper arm. We'll see how well it holds up at its first competition in July 2018. It complies with SPARC rules and fits in the UK spec 4x4x4 cube.

Update: After Competing, it proved much more durable and unfortunately slow than I had hoped. However, I later swapped out the 1s for a 2s battery and a 6v UBEC and it is MUCH faster and had WAY more flipping power. I'm excited for the next competition to give it another try.

Its always exciting to see my designs in action. Here's an example I found of this bot with what appears to be an added plastic at the bottom of the wedge: https://youtu.be/rh0bbGmGiAI. Relevant parts are at the 4:05, 30:45, and 49:50 times.
