That's not a bad looking minibot. From what I can tell, it's similar to ours, although ours is a lot bigger... apparently we'll get a custom frame on it to make it lighter though.

We were also concerned about the force that the minibot was exerting on the top plate, so we ran some tests using both an accelerometer to our cRIO paired with the smart dashboard data logging capabilities, with a wiimote wirelessly connected to a laptop for redundancy. From the results we got from the pair of accelerometers, we're hitting the top with at least 40N of force, giving a nice safety factor of 10.
