Jamison Go reported that his beetleweight fighting robot, Silent Spring, used a drum weapon made using a Desktop Metal system. The drum was printed using 4140 steel, then hardened the traditional way. It apparently yielded very good results, winning the beetleweight category at Bot Blast. You can search YouTube for videos of it in action.

I am really surprised to see Jamison being mentioned here as if he were a household name. I remember him from the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech.

  He's well known among people who are into that sort of thing.

    I heard his cat ears could win battlebots on their own, but he likes to give the competition a chance

  The gyroscopic effects of the spinning disc on the black robot are fascinating.

  That's an older version with a different weapon configuration.
