The robot designed for the competition had a vertical spinner driven by v-belts, a high-density polyethylene compliant outer armor ring, two independently driven wheels to allow zero-point turn capability, frame geometry that allowed the robot to be driven upside down, and an electrical system with two shut-off switches, one for the weapon and one for the drive system. Detailed in this report is an in-depth look at the design, manufacture, and testing of the project robot. After these sections are recommendations for changes to the design to make it more effective in the future. 001461074 650__ $$amechanical engin 001461074 650__ $$aElectrical engineering$$0(DLC)sh2009124775 001461074 6531_ $$aBattlebot 001461074 6531_ $$acombat robot 001461074 6531_ $$aengineering 001461074 6531_ $$arobotics 001461074 7001_ $$aMitchell, Jake$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001461074 7001_ $$aDe Gracia, Johan$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001461074 7001_ $$aMeyer, Richard$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001461074 8564_ $$927b90d95-f485-4518-8f85-aa2061cb2285$$s3214633$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1461074/files/Senior_Design_Report-Mitchell%2C%20De%20Gracia%2C%20Meyer.pdf 001461074 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461074$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461074 980__ $$aENGINEERING
