Here's the post about the 2014 chassis, however there's no teaser diagram.

You do realize the 2014 chassis was last year's news? You can buy one now from AndyMark. Drawings here. There is also a blog post about the 2015 chassis.:]

A few posts ago this was asked about.

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Yeah I saw that after I posted. :] Anyway drawings are on the AndyMark website.

All this hate for Regolith and minibots. I love'd to have another out of the box game.

My guess is that they change how they limit the size of the robots. All our off season drive trains are going out the window.

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Hey, I actually liked the minibots!

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Aim High without the ramps; Rack 'N Roll tubes; Ramp bots; on Regolith.

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Zone Zeal on regolith would be interesting.

Tetras and Mobile Goals.

mini-bots that run mazes - we are gonna take a picture of the maze and transmit the pattern to the mini-bot!

Flying Minibots.

I doubt it--at least not footprint; they just made it legal to reuse bumper assemblies from year to year, and replaced a giant sliding tray thing they have to ship from regional to regional with a string inspectors can carry around in their pockets.

Height or weight I could see changing, but I'll be quite surprised if it's footprint.

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Oh, but the footprint is so much easier to change now. All you need to do is change one number, and the string is now longer or shorter. And, if your bumpers were on the corners only, just carry 'em over and bolt 'em on the new corners (if the frame is the same shape overall).


Sometimes the best changes are the simplest.

Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
 

Should've gone farther and explicitly stated no bumpers.
