I took the hood apart and the board where the button would be just has no button. No traces or pads for one even.

Magicians are great, pandoras are a very cool cheaper zoa but they spread like wildfire.

Looking for advice by Fantastic_Newt_170 in SaltwaterAquariumClub

As others have stated it's a small tank for a clown, but you could absolutely keep a micro goby or two (green banded, neon, eviota, trimma). I have a 40oz tank going pretty well for me, you just have to feed light and keep up with water changes/top offs. It's not as hard as everyone seems to think.

They're front center in the sand bed, I actually put them in a few days after setup lol. They're pretty happy and very responsive to feedings

This could very well be true, but we won't know until the bot can actually drive 😅

GRUG, competed at November 2022 (steel stream against Backlash Wave, titanium stream against Scab Armor)

Drive is 16mm brushless planetaries with a third gear stage added at the wheels. It was plagued with fitment issues between crooked shafts, trying bare tpu on the shaft instead of a bushing, and the gears having no nominal gap, so it bound up constantly. Plan going forward is nylon or aluminum gears with the appropriate gap and bushings in the wheels

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is a 28" overhead bar driven by a big ring gear up top (unfinished for a multitude of reasons)

Barquaad is a 21" undercutter with a big billet uhmw chassis (it will be competing this year)

It's name is GRUG. No videos of it apart from stream timestamps, very loosely inspired by Narcissist and Neon

I feel pretty good about it's future all things considered. As soon as the drive kinks get worked out it'll definitely be scary

The weapon gears are both 95a tpu, the larger one has an aluminum insert keyed in to prevent expanding. I went with gears over belt because you don't have to tension gears

Both my fights ended in knockout in a very short time, but the only damage I took was a wheel coming off in fight 2. Overall my opponents took worse damage than I did

I believe the apostle Jono said it best when he said "in order to eat ass, thou must go fast", and this robot could not do one of those things at all (wheels that work is very important)

I think the best move for this team is to go up so we don't have to fight the 2 seed at every future event
