  • Would you consider using this in season this year?
  1. The whole chassis weighs roughly 60 pounds according to Solidwork's mass calculator. I am willing to bet it weighs a few more pounds than that.
  2. Each module is just shy of 7.5 pounds
  3. The chain is from our other offseason robot.
  4. The drivers love it. It is a blast to drive, and people at events love seeing it run.
  5. While it is significantly more mobile than our traditional 6 wheel rocker design, it takes that much more maintenance. It is definitely on the table now that we know we can build one. If the game needs something fast and agile, who knows?
