It was late in the season so we tried a fix by match drilling some plates and drilling out the axle holes on the inside runner for our practice bot (I'm surprised, but I can't find a good picture of it). Since it worked, we spray painted our frame originally intended as a practice bot frame and implemented the fix on the powdercoated frame during/after bag and tag. I liked to refer to our comp bot frame as the Ugly Duckling.

That stinks. Very few teams powdercoat their chassis, and it's a shame that yours couldn't be displayed in-comp. Performance over looks anyway, right?
It's a shame you guys couldn't make it to St. Louis, you've got a fine looking bot.
