Re: Last Minute Changes

senior year, lead mech, im thinking that i'll stay out of the pits and let the youngins do the heavy lifting we git to comp and the first inspector comes by and says that due to bumper regs we have to drop the entire frame of the bot 2in so they will be "firmly attached" (although arguably you could have hung the bot by its bumpers at the time. ) second inspector comes by and says they're fine, sadly head inspector agreed with inspector A.

so in all six hours of hacking the bot to bits, moving the entire superstructure up 2in so that we could drop the frame and ripping the entire drivetrain off and reinstaling it above the frame. but it was fun

You can do anything with a hammer and duct tape...
sadly duct tape isn't allowed.
