It's a new minibot alignment system (at least that's my guess) :D

Could be, but they already have a ramp. Don't know you can improve on their massive lexan alignment system?

I guess one could make it less massive while not making it too much less voluminous.

They want it massive. It lets them have a smaller margin of error. The alignment "V" on their ramp is so large so they don't have to be anywhere close to being aligned with the pole.

This is gonna be the coolest swerve in the West.:rolleyes:

Is that bracket also going to be reinforced with welding on the frame, or is the bracket enough?

Looking good!

Could this be a corner of a chassis? :eek:

Looks like the corner to a chassis but the giant hole has me guessing a simple bumper mount. What are the thicknesses of the metal?

Could be titanium, But that seems like a lot of machining for titanium.

It's all plain 6061 Aluminum. The tubing is 1/16" wall, and the gusset plate is 1/16" thick. Those are 3/16" rivets and this is the finished assembly, no additional welding or bolting.

Figured as much. I'm liking the no weld designs from you.

Probably not legal, but it would be cool if this robot could deploy 2 mini-bots simultaneously.

Am I right in assuming there is another one of these brackets on the underside of this assembly?

We've been building frames like this for the past few years now and we really like how they turn out. In terms of getting an extremely square and accurate frame, I haven't found a better way. The nice thing with this as well, is that while welding usually isn't necessary after final construction, if you do decide to weld, the frame is already jigged together for you.

All the cool teams use 1/4" Rivets.

No because that would be pointless. Lol
