Re: pic: Quick-Change Chassis 2

If we use this concept, it will be for ease of assembly & quick repairs at the competition. Using nutserts and an electric screwdriver I think we could swap out a drive module in <1 minute.

We also thought about inverting the assembly, but that would make the mounting screws more difficult to reach.

I've posted the CAD files (41 Mb, SolidWorks 2016) here, but this concept is not 100% done. We've built a previous version, but not this one. Just didn't have time before the Kickoff.
