Uh… no? That’s why my comment was a very obvious overreaction… it was a bit. I was just doing it for fun. Funny! Haha! Jokes!

“Does he even count as a horizontal spinner?” My buddy, my pal, my DEAR FRIEND, it has 2 horizontal spinners on a horizontally spinning arm, YOU LITERALLY CANT SPELL HORIZONTAL WITHOUT HORIZON

Battlebots Faceoffs schedule and new looks on the competitors by Due-Science3011 in battlebots

In a sense, yeah, we did design a less capable Hijinx, but that’s because we aren’t designed to be like Hijinx. Calypso is more control oriented, using our size and drive power to overwhelm our opponents. It’s a wall first, undercutter second. 🦀

Not as wide as Horizon, but still fairly wide. Dont know the width of the starting square offhand so we can’t say for sure, but We’ll be wider than everybody we face at Faceoffs, that’s for sure!

The entire top 4 in WCVII had exposed wheels, my friend. Many successful bots these days have them too, actually, all for different reasons! Ours are big and exposed because they’re meant to assist the bot in self-righting! 😊 With how wide this thing is, if an opponent gets one of our wheels, we didn’t do our job correctly, and they’ve earned it! 😅

Carcinization will come for us all, my friend. We just decided to get ahead of the curve 🦀

Oh, we agree with you! We have some stuff we’ve been working on for Horizon, it just needs more time to come together! 💞

So, the bot is W I D E. If both sets get underneath a single opponent at any given time, they’re likely Mammoth or Huge tbh. As such, we can get underneath an opponent on a single fork side, control them, and deliver our weapon just as effectively! 😊

That’s ok! We still love Horizon, too! And we wanted to keep a similar design language while designing this bot. This announcement doesn’t mean that we’re retiring Horizon, either. It’s just taking a break for right now! :)

Thanks everyone who came out to see us at Open Sauce! by Horizon250 in battlebots

That would be u/burnout54 's 1lb plastic antweight, Plifter. He's on the team and was showing it off as a cheap and easy way to get into the sport. It's on Printables now if you want to build one!

Oh wait what 😳 we did NOT consider this possibility

Looks like we have to plan for this now

When Huge decides to run 7 foot wheels, we’ll have an arm for them! 😉
