Re: How roboust is your teams robot going to be?
Ok, try this:
Think a tank with wheels. But a lightweight tank. That'll give you an idea of our bot.
We have about 75% of our drive done, and the chassis plus a few more drive components is just shy of 25 lbs. And it can take some major load.
Me (co-captain) and the captian both gave it our good old stress test, we sat on it, tried standing on it, gave it a few whacks, etc. Our weight combined is near 400 lbs. Our chassis didn't even flex.
I'm quite pleased with the way things are turning out with our drive/chassis this year. It actually looks like a slick bot. Well, slicker than anything we've done before.
Anyway, expect our bot to be taking major bashes without any effect this year. Oh, and we shouldn't get flipped like we did once last year (*see avatar).
