Pre-Match

In the intense showdown of Shaastra'24 Finals, Honey Badger found itself amidst formidable opponents – Shunya, a formidable Wedge Bot. As the battle unfolded, our team faced an unexpected setback when a post-match inspection revealed issues with the drive motor, rendering it ineffective. With the clock ticking and the pressure mounting, we made a bold decision to switch to a Brushless Drive System featuring the D3536 910KV motor for added power and reliability.

Despite the last-minute change, time was of the essence, and we couldn't have done it alone. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Team Uvira for their invaluable assistance in soldering our motors with the ESC, ensuring a seamless transition to the new drive system. Additionally, we extend our sincere appreciation to DS Robotics for their expertise in programming the ESC, optimizing the performance of our bot for the upcoming battle. And last but not least, a special thanks to Team Wild Torquz for their unwavering support in helping us complete the bot in record time.
