Rank Events Fights W L KOs KO'd
156 5 15 7 8 5 4

Story behind the name: Event Horizon is modeled after a black hole, with the chassis being the black center and the orange blade representing the accretion disc. The event horizon is the point of no return for any object falling toward a black hole. Nothing can escape once it has passed that point, not even light.

Weapon: A 400g ar500 ring that orbits the robot.

About the bot: It has four motors driving its blade. This allows it to spin up ludicrously fast and acts as a form of redundancy should a motor go down.

Weight class: 3lb

Main Driver: Aidan Reichenberg

Rank Events Fights W L KOs KO'd
120 4 14 7 7 5 1

Name pronounced: ray - dix

Story behind the name: The word "radix" is Latin for root. I thought it fit the undercutter design used by the robot well.

Weapon: AR600 Undercutter

About the bot: Radix is almost completely 3D printed. Most of the body is a single TPU print which is great at absorbing shock. However, this means the weapon assembly can flex a lot during hits. Most of my design considerations for this robot consisted of making sure this flexing doesn't break anything important.

Rank Events Fights W L KOs KO'd
65 2 9 6 3 2 0

Story behind the name: In our first design, the robot’s weapon was made from several slices of material, so we chose the name Sliced Bread. We’ve since changed the weapon but decided to keep the name. If nothing else, when we lose we can tell our opponents “they must be the best thing since Sliced Bread.”

Weapon: Vertical spinner / beater bar

About the bot: Sliced Bread is a 4W drive vertical spinner. It’s our first attempt at a custom build after fighting in 2023 with a 2W Fingertech beater bar robot called Dumb Drum.

Weapon: A 3 lb drum.

About the bot: He was built out if mostly hardware store parts aside from the gearmotor. The only thing I didn't build in my garage is the weapon. The whole basis of me building this bot was you can still have fun in the 30lb weight class for around 500 bucks if you can do the work yourself and don't go for the fancy stuff.

Story behind the name: The robot's color scheme (ring with black center and white top/bottom) looks vaguely like the inverted "Uh-Oh!" Oreos that were available in the early 2000s. Before that, the robot was named "Recycler" because it spins (weapon) and also spins (drive).

Weapon: Shell/ring spinner

About the bot: Oh-No! Oreo is designed to heavily rely on 3D printing and waterjet cutting and to minimize the number of parts typically found in ring spinners.

371 1 3 1 2 0 1

Story behind the name: Triangles! because triangles!
I learned in school that triangle is the strongest shape so we applied it to the entire robot wherever possible, body is a triangular wedge, weapon is made up of three triangles even the weight saving cutouts are triangles. We hope our triangles will try hard, hence the Tri-Hard

Weapon: vertical spinner in shape of a triangle with 3 teeth

About the bot: It is our first bot, many iterations went into it and several months of work. Me and my dad printed the body out of TPU with only a little bit of titanium for top armor (if we can fit under weight), side armor is our coolest feature, we hope it to takes much of the hits and lets us keep going. The triangular weapon is somewhat unique as well. Most of the mechanical components are from fingertech robotics, weapon was designed by us and made by send cut send.

Tsunamii

Rank Events Fights W L KOs KO'd
25 3 8 4 4 1 1

Story behind the name: It is a RoboJackets tradition to name all robots with an 'i' at the end, so that was a primary consideration. This is the second iteration, so there are two 'i's at the end. We knew we wanted to build a vertical spinner that hit hard and could take hits like a tank, just like a Tsunami, which stops for nothing and destroys everything in its wake. Plus it was between this and John F. Kennedi.

Weapon: Drisk, Vertical spinner

About the bot: It's a two-wheel-drive vertical drisk spinner with an aluminum and titanium frame with TPU and UHMW armor. It's intended to deal massive damage with an AR500 weapon and tank hits from opponents with ablative armor to last 3 minutes every time. It's designed for highly aggressive offense with cleated wheels, fast spin-up, spring-tensioned forks, and a balls-to-the-wall driver.

This bot's experience level: It's fought at NHRL before.

Story behind the name: Penguins are an objectively cute animal and we like to believe that if given the opportunity, a penguin would eat a frog. This makes Waddles! the natural predator of Ribbot.

Weapon: Whatever we feel like! It's modular! (Usually an undercutter or a vert)

About the bot: Waddles! is built, machined, and ran by Team WPI. Waddles! is a chance for experienced beetle builders to advance their skills in designing and manufacturing larger robots. It is also intended as a pipeline for important skills and knowledge so that they are not lost when seniors graduate. The most important part, however, is for us to have fun! NOOT NOOT!!!
