I don't know what it is, but I like it! Is that the whole chassis?

My guess is that is just 1/2 of the bot

Quarter inch aluminum with 2 CIM drive? I'm scared for you.

Who said anything about 2 CIM drive? That wouldn't be very 2200 like. They did give us access to 6 this year ;)

That gearbox only looks like it can hold 1 CIM.

Look closely at the small plate: the other 2 go inside the frame.

That's an...interesting concept. Will an enlightenment as to why be following soon? Just a space saver?

(Funnily enough, passed my Simbotics post without even knowing it.)

There was not enough room to fit 3cim's and a shifting piston all on the inside. It was a simple matter of how to make it all fit. With the reduced dimensions of the robot this year, a standard 3/4" bore 1/2" stroke bimba piston was too long to fit we redesigned to use a shorter "flat line" piston.
