Looks fantastic. Where is the bottom of the bumper in relation to this frame? Great design.

[Joe Schornak]

Very cool.
How well does it turn?

[R.C.]

Wow,

Very Neat design. Any vids of it in action. I wish we had the time to build one of these, maybe 3 :D

Yes I am also curious on how well it turns.

I notice your robot was mainly engineered to deal with the bump. . . however what kind of kicking mechanism (if there is one) are you going to use?

Otherwise this is a fantastic design other than the compromise of maneuverability.

Test video?

There is a link to video below the picture. The bumper will attach to a bar just above the cut off the picture on top. As for the kicker, I'm not going to throw everything out there just yet. I still have 3 weeks to mess with you guys.;)
