OK. Just putting a teaser up is to boring... Here (http://picasaweb.google.com/RionAtkinson/CAD#5431563448827246050) is the whole thing. :D

PS. Can anyone explain to me why this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/tags/frc2395) shows that I uploaded this twice?

Looks pretty awesome.

How much are your center four wheels offset from the outer four?

It's actually 1/4th inch at the moment. I may take it down to 3/16th. But I don't see the reason.

Are you planning on traversing the bump?

It looks as if you have tapered the top of your bot towards the front. A good idea, which I expect most people advantage of...

Nice design.

Ok, I reread and reread this... What do you mean tapered it towards the front?

Maybe it is the color gradient or that I was not specific enough, but the top of your bot seems taller on the backside than on the front. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me?

Sorry, it was in fact my eyes playing tricks on me... nonetheless, nice design, and maybe you do want to consider a ramped top for deflecting balls towards the front?

No problem. :d I would loved to make that ramped. But the 1/4th inches dropped center and the edged of the bumpers wouldn't help with getting the balls off. There will indeed be a ramp of some sort to keep the balls off the top. :D Thanks of the advise. :D
