Re: pic: Team 3572 Chassis Project

I really don't trust the outside wheels. Our team made a minibot with cantilevered wheels on 3/8in bolts and despite it being substantially lighter than an FRC robot it could not handle the forces. Your wheels are also cantilevered out further than our minibot and are not on shock absorbing pneumatic tires leading me to trust this even less.

Also, you need blocks on the inside of the 2x1 to prevent the wheel bolt from just crushing it.
