Is that a crab-type base? It looks like you've got a way to turn your wheels independantly of your chassis. Cool.


One note, though: some of the other engineers on our team wanted to mount the Robot Controller vertically, as you have done - but i was able to convince them that was a bad idea, due to the large number of spear-type goal grabbers that will be right around that height this year. And it wouldn't even have to be hit by something sharp to hurt it.It might be best to put a polycarb sheet over it, just to save yourself some heartache.

Just a suggestion. Good luck!
