Apex (NHRL)

## Overview

Apex is a 4WD eggbeater spinner with a wooden frame rails. It is one of Norwalk's many Fingertech beetle beater users. It went 0-2 at its NHRL debut. For July 2021, the design was dialed back to a more traditional one and it paid off with a few fairly convincing wins in July 2021, but then fell again with a 1-2 finish at September 2021. It then competed in November 2021 where it gave out one more convincing KO before losing to two of the best robots there.

### Minibot

Sacrificer is a Viper kit that uses the 2021 vertical spinner add on. It competed at the 2021 March Norwalk meet and was eliminated at the hands of Luma's Weed Whacker 3. Since then, it has accompanied Apex as a minibot.
