Re: pic: Ground Clearance (or the lack thereof)
very smooth, looks nice- I would suggest testing on carpet all of the time, in 2002 we had a low-riding part of our robot but we only tested on concrete, come game time we didn't understand why our robot was so slow- turns out the bottom was scraping against the carpet the entire time.. it wasn't fun modifying half of our robot at the last minute, I can tell you that...

we overlook the importance of testing on carpet too much, its better to know when you can make the modifications IN your shop instead of in the middle of a crowded pit area..
