Re: Unique robot design?
That looks really sweet. I see that you guys either shortened or lengthened your wheelbase in your second iteration (I'm guessing the longer one is the newer one). You're right, they do look like mandibles. Ours is similar, though we've limited the range of motion more since they fold vertically.
We did do the belly in carbon fiber this year; one of our big goals was to teach the kids to do layup, and it's gone really well. We've also experimented with other parts, like gussets. Another big goal was to get the comp bot powder coated, and I'm pleased to say it will get back to us from our new sponsor Blue Flame on Wednesday.
May as well post the rest of the pictures now too. The first is our stack of sliders; the second is the full bot as she stood yesterday.
