Changes: Sobek

Revision as of 16:11, 22 April 2020

"Never smile at a Crocodile"

— Team motto

Sobek was a robot from Massachusetts competing in the Civil War competition and US Championship. For the Civil War, it represented the Union and reach the semi-finals having defeated runners-up The Revolutionist, but lost in Round One of the US Championships. Interestingly, out of three battles, two had House Robots interfering with Sobek and receiving yellow cards.

Design

Sobek was an invertible, four-wheeled designed somewhat off a crocodile with a pneumatic jaw and two movable arms to lift the robot up. The wheels, however, were exposed and not particularly strong, having broken off on two occasions. During the Civil War, Sobek carried a sacrificial tire on its crusher.

Design-wise, Sobek somewhat resembles two-time BattleBots super-heavyweight champion Diesector.

Etymology

Sobek is the name of the Egyptian God of crocodiles.
