We cleaned up shop and now we have a rough design, just have to refine it and start building.

yay! we drove our robot today! we are WAY ahead of the crowd now. btw what is everyone's thoughts on how everyone's center of gravity might be high? obviously mounting the battery low will help but what other ways could help?(no obvious answers like build a robot thats only 10 inches tall please)

as far as keep the C.G low .... our team does things such as adding weight in the lower portions of the robot .... i.e. battery, compressor, heavy wheels(if weight allows), and motors .... this year my team face the same problem as we did last year ... our chasis is only going to be aroung 40 lbs or 55 with the battery so were going to drop in some solid steel shaft to add a few pound to the lower part of the robot

hmm. we havent weighed our robot at all yet but i unno.... i have a feeling its already well over 40 lbs. every year we push out weight limit so i dont think we're gonna have any solid steel as extra weight on our robot...
i unno how many people are gonna respond to this Q but how many teams are building their robot to the max dimensions? or close to it?
*hint* our robot wont fit in the back of an explorer. we know that much already. lol.

Wow an entire weekend and no posts. I don't think that ever happened last year. Maybe everyone else is too busy designing and building to bother with the forums. Of course or bot will most likely be build and fully functional by the end of the week. After that just the small modifications and tweaking. Personally I cant wait to see it score some balls.
