nope, the bots done... its just a frame, a tranny and electronics... we will sit in every match.

nah, of course it has 4 wheels, all driven, and it handles beautifully. It turns exceptionally fast with no skipping or jittering, we even tried it with a person on top to simulate an arm, lol.

Yeah, I'm also concerned about tipping... but try and convince the rest of my team about that (even tho im the one who came up with a sideways alignment) however, I already have a lightweight solution to any tipping problems, assuming it works. Oh, and the aluminum frame alone weighs in at 14 lbs, so it isnt that bad.
