Re: [FRC Blog] - NASA Grants and Something New for 2015
Might I add that in the blog post about the 2015 chassis, Frank mentions, "Our goal is to give you as much information as possible without revealing details about the game. For example, the limited ground clearance on last year’s KOP Drive System implied that the 2014 field would be relatively flat, while a drive base with significant ground clearance would imply some type of obstacle on the field that robots will likely have to traverse. If we revealed details such as ground clearance, we would be giving away too much of the game." In the provided cross-section image, it's visible that the through-holes for the wheels are quite a bit lower than the AM14U. I think this is a clear indicator that the chassis rides higher, and that there will be some terrain.
