Haha, our school is a career/vocational school, so those fluke meters actually are property of the school, however, our robotics team is allowed to use them.

While the bumpers are not currently on the frame, we will be able to abide by those rules.

The mounting and positioning of the battery on this chassis are not finalized, this current configuration was just for prototyping purposes. The battery will not be mounted in the back for weight distribution purposes. You bring up a very good point regarding the "shock" this game will have, we have realized this already, and will most likely place the battery elsewhere.

There will be more cross/bracing support once the other mechanical mechanisms have been mounted.. however, from our testing, this frame seems to be very sturdy!
