Gotta have a solid frame for a game like this and for antics like these:

Yes, the other team was slightly terrified we were stuck in high gear at the wrong moment without bumpers and nearly landed on them.

They also learned to keep the battery strapped in a bit better since it disconnected and flew from the robot.

We did drop to the floor once from about 4 ft from the ground during testing but I can't remember any other serious drops on the field. Most of the climbing failures just resulted in a slow and uneventful descent. I was more worried about drive components cracking than frame this year.
