Very nice job. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. It is great that you were creative enough to solve a problem and built it in house. Doing it the way you have your team has learned more than you know. When you compete, win or not you will feel like a winner when you are done. Note: you may want to add weight to get as close to 120 lbs. limit as you can.

looks great! i look forward to seeing you at NJ.

about the metal working shop: our team has for 4 years worked in a cafeteria, with very limited tools, but we are still able to build a functioning robot. you don't need a fancy workshop to build a good robot, just determined people.

Yes I Agree, We have included mounting holes for balast (Spelling?) weights on all corners, to help get us to that 120 weight limit, in a stable manner.
