HIGH-5 has a four-wheeled tank drive system and a unique pair of lifting arms that combine it to act as a battering ram. HIGH-5 is fully invertible and the lifter weapon can lift up to 280 kilograms and the interchangeable rear drum spinner weighs 14 kilograms. HIGH-5 may find difficulty in the competition, as it has a ride height of 11 millimetres which could make it susceptible to flippers. The team are prepared for any setbacks though with a LV Real-Time monitoring system for diagnosing problems early and quickly, as well as rubber mounted electronics and batteries for shock absorption.
