  • Moved to retaining the wheels with screws and washers to better reflect my team's machining capabilities.
  • Added features for the box tubing to set into on the rails, this will help us make sure everything is aligned before welding.
  • Created an example for a no-welding setup for teams without access to welding. This also allows for all VexPro 3rd stage reductions to be used (box tubing option doesn't allow for 60- and 64-tooth gears).
  • Added basic bumper framing.

Updated model
No welding setup
No welding drive rail
Have you run those bumper rails before?
