Re: Team 1389: Lower Ground Clearance than a sports car

Yeah, we're using 6" andy mark mecanum wheels and the KOP chasis as a base to build off of, so in terms of mounting, we made it as low as possible using ordered parts.

we originally had about 2-3 inches of clearance and then realized it was silly to mount the wheels that way.

using the bolts im sure we can get the clearance to be almost touching the ground, but that doesnt really change the robot significantly enough to justify trying for lowest ground clearance

...then again, since when have we ever needed a reason to compete in anything?
