Was the non-rectangular frame designed to accommodate the superstructure, or was there another reason for the slight bulge?
The octagonal drivebase was a concept that we played with in CAD during the offseason. One of the largest benefits of the octagonal drive base is that it increase our support base, which is especially helpful when our Cog ended up being a bit higher than we would have liked.

And belts everywhere!
We do love those belts. We did have to compromise and include a few chains on out claws and the shooter because the math didn't work out

What is the range, accuracy, etc.?
We have not really tested anything past the white zone because we did not see any shot beyond that point as extremely useful. As for the accuracy, I would put us at 90%-95%, but Davis will be a much better tell of that.
