Aloha!

Yes I mentioned that this is a hexagon frame design about mid way

The belly pan is also hexagons.. yup a theme... I tilted it so show more of the angled bumper mounts. I didn't give much thought to showing off the pan.

The basis of the design is a 8 motor hex frame with the motors and shifter mounted over the frame for a mostly empty belly pan. With the new electronics coming out, it will all fit within the pan area within the frame height. I will be posting the transmission soon, I had to run a Vex IQ event today, cute them bitty bots!

Thanks for the questions...
