It kind of reminds me of your 2007 robot...

Do you have a ball magnet?

I'm a little curious as to what you mean by our 07 bot. Unless your talking about the ramp. Cause we didn't have much else in rack n roll. Other than stout defense and a ramp.

And we have a ball stopper not magnet, but it simply holds it a bit just to make kicking easier.

That looks like a steel frame in this picture, how heavy is just your frame alone?

This is gonna shock you but just the chassis alone is only 10.4 lbs and with drive parts its 28 lbs. With electronics its 38. Its really quite light. With everything assembled and what not its a few pounds under 120 though.

Yeah that's a happy mistake. Since the 07 cal games we've had an upside down bumper. The first one was an accident we colored in the numbers upside down so we were SL9 instead of 675. And ever since we just somehow manage to keep it going. Even when we double and triple check. Go figure

Haha. Yeah I agree it bothers me a crap ton too. Cause it doesn't look like an s or l or 9. Just upside down 675. Idk maybe we inverted our y axis? Who knows. thanks for your kudos by the way. What regionals are you attending?

By any chance does your robot have difficulty turning in place?

I ask because it looks like your mecanum wheels are not in the standard "O on bottom/X on top" configuration...

I read most of the posts on there. Now does our mistake mean we have to make a new one? Or if we flip over are we okay since one is upside down?
