Personally, i’d have to say the clawbot

A robot made by someone who didn’t read the game manual. Breaks vertical expansion rules, disk possession limits, etc.

Flywheel with no hood so it spins fast but can’t shoot anything. Also gear it so high that it doesn’t have enough torque to spin the rollers

A pushbot, all it can do is push discs into a low goal, nothing else

The minimum you would need to pass inspection is:

  • Brain
  • Battery
  • Radio
  • Battery Cable
  • Smart Cable

Maybe hold things together with some zip ties or rubber bands if you’re feeling fancy.

Anything else is just adding unnecessary functionality, if the goal is to build the worst “robot” possible.

Hold my discs, let me one-up you

No wheel drivetrain.

  • Subsystem 1: Mobile robotic base including wheels, tracks, legs, or any other mechanism that allows the Robot to navigate the majority of the flat playing field surface. For a stationary Robot, the robotic base without wheels would be considered Subsystem 1.

Emphasis is mine

A stationary robot due to poor building or coding, as in it doesn’t move, or turn, and basically just sits there in the way.

Yall are thinking inside the field. A bot that is constantly out for ‘major repairs’ and only the driver shows up to satisfy T5

Any bot that’s made out of steel, the rest doesn’t matter

Just use the tipping point meta and instantly get dq’d as you raise the 4bar
