Looks like you will have a problem keeping your bumper unarticulated as the regs require...but nice job with the virtual mock up!

Nothing...I didn't take the time to put on my glasses and look closely and missed the fact that the image is of one bot in two positions, falsely assuming a six wheel articulated frame! An object lesson in the importance of careful observation and analysis for success in FRC and life, right?

Previous FRC ramp climbing experience indicates that a little speed solves most clearance issues. :D
