We're gonna have the CAD and engineering power next year, and I'm really feeling it.
We didn't even weld. Just used a whole bunch of versachassis brackets, and a lot of bolts that ran from top to bottom through the entire drive train.... our bot was one of the very few that never broke down (drive train wise) at both of our regionals. ... Now our arm on the other hand... broke a few times at the first regional.
