I have been fairly happy with most of my robots in 2025, but some things will need to be improved for 2026.

Eviscerator:
Eviscerator will have significant changes to the wheel guards, and will be trying new materials. I will also experiment with different belt reductions, ESC settings, new weapon designs, and more. This will be Eviscerator V8.

Scintillator:
I will experiment with different print settings and Tegris armor. Scintillator’s weapon motors are now discontinued and have been replaced with a newer model, so the weapons will need to be adjusted slightly to fit. Throughout its fights, Scintillator has consistently cracked the epoxy holding on the weapon. I will experiment with Kevlar pulp to prevent crack propagation.

Gyrator:
Gyrator has a 15 second spin up time, so I will experiment with a different weapon motor.

Intimidator:
Intimidator showed promise in its two practice fights, but it had issues with the weapon motor mounts melting and was overweight. For its first event, it will have different print settings, an Aluminum weapon shaft, ABS motor mounts, and bearing support for the motor shafts.

Annihilator
Our team is building a 12 pound undercutter, and we are hoping to have it ready by June NHRL.
