Re: pic: 179 Progress
Very interesting,
I would personally be scared to do something like this because of high speed collisions, but if you add the 1x1 steel angle then it should be fine. Then again we tend to make our frames more beefy than they need to be  .
I do love how easy it makes to work on the robot, and also easy to manufacture. Can't get much better than having a frame done after a water-jet run.
Also, I like the mini-bot deployment system. Does it just work using the weight of the mini-bot to compress the springs in the vertical position and then extend when horizontal?
Very cool concept Dan, can't wait to see it in person.
Is there a Swamp Scrimmage this year?
