MMM shiny. I would strongly recommend you cover up as much of it as possible if you want it to stay that way through the build season

kinda reminds me of parts of our '03 bot, colorwise. Too bad that paint can come off so easy...

This is our first painted robot so we pulled out all the stops! Well by painted I mean not with spray paint. :)

I wanna know about that also. How much weight does the paint/powdercoat weigh on the frame and how much does the frame weigh?

it is powdercoat... it doesnt weigh much... we didnt weigh the chassis before/after we painted it... the overall frame weighs about 20 pounds, without the plates..

we had that thought too but i came up with a major problem with that. if you get on the goal and another robot comes and keeps you on the goal you are stuck for at least for 13 seconds, due to the 10 sec. pin rule then they get 3 seconds away then you are allowed to pin again for 10 seconds. other then that if you thought of it then good luck this year and i hope to see ya at a competition! good luck!

i also that you will use some sort of traction grippy stuff to adhere to your wheels. what stuff is that and how will you manage to keep it on the wheel? thats what we have a probem with right now.

Pfft, 3 wheel drive swivel in the front with power to the rear wheels. Why else would the triangle be in the front? ;)

Nice design guys. Kinda reminds me of our frame ;) . Can't wait to see your finished bot at VCU.

It looks awesome. Are you guys using tank drive or steering system? And what is the material you guys use in chasis?

Let us just give a shout out to our wonderful sponsors for their wonderful work. Mike and Dwayne, for the welding and paint job, respectively. We wont give away all of our secrets, but we will tell you, dont get in our way. The way we have designed our drive system, you really, really dont want to get run over.

I wanted to add this is: Coming soon, by friday, we will be displaying something even bigger than a beautiful gold chassis.

Not to burst your bubble, but are you sure its legal to color your robot so similar to the yellow field triangles?

There is no rule saying a robot cant be of a certain color, just that they cant change colors to confuse the other teams.

Its not yellow....its gold :cool:
ya there is a rule, but i believe that it jst keeps us from making a robot that would intentionally distract others... gold and black are our school colors...if if was lime green, that would be another story
