Re: Team 2980 2013 Open Source Robot

Just a friendly reminder that you will need 8" of bumper on each side of the triangle cut out to fit the pyramid. The model makes it look like it is okay but I can't see the dimension to be sure.

You'll have to let us know how the chassis holds up over the season. The climbing design we've been tossing around involves a similar cut out to fit the pyramid inside it, but I'm concerned about building a rigid enough chassis that would hold up if we stick it in the middle of our chassis like that. If we do end up building a climber I think it is more likely that the mechanism will be mounted on top of our robot and we'll flip over to climb.
