Your vids have been amazing for helping me learn about these bots but this melty concept is another level. Really hoping I can make it to havoc as a spectator and see it in action! Will try to catch the tear down if it lines up.
the mems element in the gyro is fractured from shock loads. i kinda recomend putting a few IR photo sensors in holes in the top and bring a bright IR light with you so you can override gyro heading from a interrupt input calculations as a fail over
Might be worth replacing the surface mount button with something that can't be triggered by accident - possibly a cable that completely disconnects once the board is programmed?
I am on the server, yes, but I dont use discord much Also yes I have met the Kasmer's last year at NHRL, we had a good chat about melty software and they let me drive project liftoff. I just havent had time to update my melty software since then, but I'm planning to soon

If your using a imu get some 5lb die springs and mount it on a shock mount you need to dampen the 2000+ G's it's get knocked around by.

Perhaps press fitting a titanium shoulder bolt in place of the motor shaft might strengthen it a little?
That is a good idea, might have to see what brushless motors I have that are best suited to shaft replacement
Have you considered hub motors for the weapons? That could add simplicity and save weight in your system so you can use beefier motors
I have, the original idea for both versions of the spinner melty was hub motors, but I have not had the time to R&D one
Some of the Just Cuz hubmotors may be a good option.@@TeamPanicRobotics
Do you have a gyro or accelerometer board?
not in this version, but soon
Have you joined the hockey puck of 💀 discord server or talked with the Kasmer family which built project liftoff
I am on the server, yes, but I dont use discord much
