We had a second damaged one without the siding or extra epoxying and one of the claw "jaws" held 50 lbs of downward force by itself before it gave way

In reply to your bumper fix, I guess great minds think alike That's what we did today once we realized that we had skipped over a crucial rule, seems to have worked well enough on our practice robot!


See you at Sac!!!

Not plywood sorry!! xD


I'm curious for your claw this year, we saw the CAD but are still baffled
