Let's See Your Robot's Battle Scars

[Oblarg]

We've got a big dent in the front of our AM14U, two PG188's with the output shafts sheared into two pieces, and a very bent hard-stop on our roller arm. I'll post pics later if I have the time.

That said, the gearbox failure was the fault of insufficient design (never considered the torque generated by the arm getting hit hard while it was being actuated down), and the frame dent didn't affect structural integrity and seems to be par-for-the-course (we're going to swap out that frame section and reinforce it with a steel bar for our next competition).

It's a very rough game, but not cripplingly-so. Worth noting that we were on the giving side of the defense after our arm went out of commission, not the receiving; but I don't think we caused any significant damage to other robots. We certainly tried to push rather than ram, and to avoid extended appendages.
