-No Mecanum Wheels

- It could be used to alter traction.

Perhaps - the FIRST electric guitar to double as a coat hanger?

Re: Team 250 Teaser

Some kind of suspension system to get over the barrier.

Or a funky boomerang.

Why not a funky boomerang that gets you over the barrier? - It could always be both.

Is the Chief Delphi crowd thoroughly ..Teased?:confused:

NASA Mars Rover -esque suspension. Maintains 6 wheels on the ground through rough terrain. Looks like maybe a serpentine chain will run the wheels?

I believe it is just standard 6160 aluminium. It is 3/16" thick. For the teaser shot, the part was polished on a buffing wheel. As we complete the parts we will most likely continue to polish these side plates as it takes all of the burrs off. And they just look amazing polished to a mirrored finish! :D
