Description

Heave Ho is a lifter robot that employs pulleys and a rail-connected string to flip opponents by using its red platform. It strategically waits for foes to step onto its platform, activates its Sharingan, and propels them across the town. Curiously, it harbors a fear of Italian men.

Design

Heave Ho's ingenious design centers around the use of a vertical pulley system, where the lifting platform ascends a shaft located at the robot's front. To ensure smooth movement, wheels are strategically positioned at the top of the shaft, minimizing friction. A powerful motor, placed near the front of the robot, operates a string that pulls the platform upward. Notably, Heave Ho's engineering places heavier components towards its rear, effectively generating counteracting torque during lifting maneuvers. Its elongated, flat design incorporates an aluminum-based closed chassis, prioritizing precise positioning over speed or raw power. Furthermore, for enhanced agility and turning, Heave Ho relies on a stability ball mechanism, emphasizing its commitment to finesse and control in the arena.
