Answering Chord was the first Sportsman Class robot designed by Oryx Robotics Group.
It was created specifically to compete in Bot-O-Rama 2K16, run by HotDealsInTexas. The unique Sportsman Class required entries to have an active weapon, but traditional kinetic spinning weapons were limited to a power of 5. The chainsaw mounted on Answering Chord is instead considered a "cutting weapon"
The basic design of Answering Chord is heavily influenced by the robot Vertigo, built by Team Vertigo.
Answering Chord is currently in its M1A1 iteration, a full album of its evolution can be seen here

Answering Chord was designed with a 2-piece trapezoidal hull with aggressively knurled strike faces framed by ground-scraping spikes. Mounted between the sectioned chassis is a high-powered chainsaw.
M1A1
The M1A1 variant of Answering Chord was created to combat concerns that the M1 could be easily stuck on its side. The M1A1 widens the chassis by 24% and adds roll bars to each flank. M1A1 full album
