Really appreciate it. we probably have one of the smallest non rookie teams out there so we take all the support we can get. we have 11 students and 7 mentors. That is our team. lol. Again, thanks for the support.

Hey I totally understand that, my freshmen year it was literally like 5 students and our advisor back in aim high. But of course I like to follow others outside around the nation. Have any questions or anything you need help or would likw a second opinion on don't hesitate to ask. 675 has got your back.

Steel isn't heavy! It's just misunderstood :p strength to weight is usually better than aluminum, and it's welded properties are tons better than aluminum.

Nice frame, that's really light and definitely tough.

Love the welded steel kicker too, ours is welded 4130 :)

Hey thanks man. And yeah it really has done well for us the past couple years. Your kicker should hold up rather well. Haha

I'd have a plan for fixing it. Hopefully your mounting system can be changed/flip-flopped so you don't have to take apart the whole bumper.

Even more than the upside down bumper, which you could just flip over, I would be concerned that your bumpers do not properly protect the corner.

See Figures 8-2 and 8-4 in the Robot section of the manual.

Duly noted we will be prepared. For changes if needed. Thanks for the heads up.
