Custom Reflex Controller

Model:Custom ATmega328P Board
Primary Function

Runs the 200kHz edge-reflex interrupt handler that reacts to opponent contact and ring-edge detection.

Selection Rationale

A bare ATmega328P with a hand-tuned interrupt table beats a general-purpose dev board on worst-case reaction latency.

LOG #2025-09-20warning

False Edge-Trigger on Dark Opponents

PROBLEM:The edge-detection ultrasonic occasionally misread a dark-colored opponent chassis as the ring boundary, triggering an unwanted retreat.
TEST:Logged ultrasonic echo timing against five different opponent chassis colors on the practice ring.
ENGINEERING CHANGE:Added a minimum echo-strength threshold that ignores readings consistent with a nearby object rather than the ring edge.
✓ RESULT: Zero false edge-triggers across 30 practice bouts.
LOG #2025-11-11warning

Wheel Spin Under Full Push Load

PROBLEM:Against heavier opponents, the drive wheels would spin in place instead of pushing through.
TEST:Bench-tested traction force with and without the magnet skirt installed using a spring-scale rig.
ENGINEERING CHANGE:Upgraded to the N52 neodymium downforce skirt, increasing effective normal force on the wheels.
✓ RESULT: Push-through success rate against max-weight opponents rose from 60% to 95%.
