UFO JOE: How much kinetic energy can be generated?
Background: Ever since my first modified Fingertech wedge kit had it's poorly designed wedge ripped off in a very one sided finals match I've wanted to design a robot that generated as much kinetic energy as feasibly possible. Inspired by the idea that I could design something like Deep Six on my first attempt I put together Vertical Spinner Prototype, a robot that tore itself to shreds the second it made contact with metal. Vertical Spinner Prototype Moving on to a more stable build, Pulsar was designed to be a much more compact and controllable version of VSP.
