Wow RC! This thing looks fierce! Much better than last year's robot. Very nice work. I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta. :)

However, that cart needs some work. :(

The front wheels aren't driven then?

I do like the vertical electronics board; it's actually made of something people usually call "a board".

You're mistaken. Those are the front wheels.

Oh I see, so the central electrical board acts as a rudder correct? You turn it on a servo to steer on that high speed field. Excellent design.

I'm not sure of the legality of the battery though. Haha... Just kidding... No seriously, I don't think it's legal. :D Use some duct tape because that IS legal.

You know I did sense a lot of seriousness in the way they are typing because you know I can do that now. I have that power I have transcended.

Hey, The Litchbots use actual "boards" every year

This is totally not fair. That's our robot design. =]

Ours actually looks like that now, except the board is horizontal and has a metal frame over it holding a lexan cover for the electronics. Ostensibly this keeps random things from hitting the controls system, but really it's because the robot makes an awesome table =]

The only thing we have to fix is the non-KOP caster on the front. Oh, and did I mention that we're under the weight limit, and we have a 40 pound lead brick on it?

:yikes: :eek: :yikes: :eek: Man we are so behind we will be so lucky if our robot can even start breaking rules! At this point more than two wheels that can spin will be a huge suprise! :p
