Impact metrics
Battle-ready prototype with dual weapons + differential drive; solved brownouts, IR interference, and servo mount cracking through redesign.
M&T angle
Constrained competitive engineering: durability, power budgets, and failsafe control under adversarial conditions.
Reflection
Power architecture is half the robot. Shared rails brown out weapons — isolating logic/servo rails with common ground made the bot reliable under hits.
