I was wondering the same thing (gee we are part of the same club) vyrotek.

Anyways, I guess it would take alot of work to get a basic running chasis. like at least some time to decide dimensions, and then to macine it. It could probably be done in two days, but that's like 8-10 hours or so per day (including Sunday)... and then if it doesn't work for you, you have to re-engineer it....

Well, I'm glad we aren't the only ones still in the design stage.

as for the pre-manufacturing thing, I think that means that NO part can be placed on your robot that you machined before the kickoff. No basic chasis, wheels, or sprockets... nothing.
