We had planned a West Coast chassis and have a standardized e-plate design. Before the West Coast chassis was introduced, we had a standardized chassis that we used for the two years before that (2013-2014). We have historically been a strong defensive robot, so this is definitely a new challenge for us--chassis has always been pretty much the same, so we aren't sure if making this change will allow us to finish on time.
That being said, we will definitely have to calculate how much the center of gravity will be offset dependent on where the boxes are held relative to the chassis.
