Pinevictus is a 3lb combat robot equipped with a vertical spinning beater bar. The robot has been continuously iterated dating back to my freshman year of college and very first combat robotics competition in November 2021. 8 complete iterations later, Pinevictus holds a number of achievements to its name, and serves as a testament that with enough effort, anything is possible. Note that the name of my robot is Pinevictus, not Lynx.

You will notice that there was a fairly significant uptick in events in 2024 and 2025. After the trials and tribulations of A12XWANG and Ratchet, I decided that it was time to lock in on a single robot and actually start trying. Given my financial situation as a college student, it made the most sense to invest resources in the 3lb robot to ensure that I did not go into the negative. This decision ultimately resulted in a moderate amount of glorious victory, but it was not an easy path to get there. Progress takes time and an incredible amount of continued dedication and hard work.
