Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
How stiff is your frame in this configuration? I feel like any side impacts could cause severe damage to your rhino tread mounting plates without additional cross-bracing near the front of the robot (adding mechanisms that span the gap in front could resolve that)
What is the width of the robot right now? After adding in the bumper brackets, the length of the Rhino treads will be about 32 inches long. That leaves <28 inches per side, but the robot looks wider than that (maybe it's perspective in that photo?)
