Prior to the Event:
 |
| Shock mounted drive motors |
 |
| Fingertech hubs. I still use them four years later. |
 |
| Forgot about clearance. |
 |
| Testing with an old weapon blade. |
 |
| Lineage |
 |
| S7 tool steel. |
 |
| Such a nice blue temper done in the kitchen oven. |
 |
| With its derpy brother HAMster ball. |
Halfway Through the Event
 |
| Burned stator winding insulation. Should not have used the pretty green (and low temperature) wire. The ashes still kept the windings separate so good enough. |
 |
| Dings and dents. |
 |
| Chooch on the left. |
 |
| And chooch on the right. |
 |
| Blade damage. This one tested at 53 HRc. |
 |
| Later learned that only six M3 screws are not enough. |
 |
| Too many screws. |
After the Event
 |
| Frame tweak |
 |
| Glamour shot. |
 |
| Shock mounting strategy worked well. |
 |
| No electrical problems. |
 |
| Dat crack. |
 |
| Noted: make frame as one part. |
 |
| Rubbing as expected, but no cracked magnets. |
 |
| The crack prevented the weapon from successfully spinning up in the final match. |
 |
| Crispy wires. |
 |
| Screw, banged and mashed. |
 |
| Evidence of pliers marks where I tried to straighten things. |
 |
| These work good. |
 |
| More funny screws. |
 |
| Stator separation. |
 |
| Ablation. |
