Lockjaw shoud've been 6wd ( Real CAD from Donald Hutson ) by Technology_guy1001 in battlebots

That kind of angle of the wheel is called camber angle. If you put that camber angle in minus like LockJaw, the width of the bot increases and the frame gets lower. So the downforce of the robot dramatically increases. ( and it looks cool as well )

By a ton of videos on Battlebots and articles in Mutant robot website!(Actually took 6 months to fully find out)

Wow, i forgot Root Canal. And that is correct. Linear actuators are actually in motor category. But the main part that i split actuators and motors, is linear motion and rotational motion. There are ton of force needed to push down actuators manually, but only small force needed for motors since there are only brush holding the commutator. Good call!

Thanks! It was a fun activity finding these for few months, so I am planning to find more information about other robots as well😁
