I'm really intrigued by your frame this year... essentially a WCD, but with what looks like an entirely sheet metal frame. Will you be posting CAD of your robot this year?
This is something similar to what 2826 and 2415 have done around 2012 or so, but with 148's own tweaks and twists on it. I particularly like the two nesting pieces that creates a whole "tube" shape without any seam in the middle. I will definitely be taking a very close look at this design for future iterations of GUS drivetrains... This drivetrain is really cool!

If I recall correctly, 148's had cantilevered wheel drivetrains for at least a year or two - 2015 was similar, I think? Not sure.
