Re: use of electrical sliprings

I like Matt's idea because we used it several times. We used drills and FP because they are fairly compact and just about the right length for a wheel assy width. I don't do this very often but I have a hint instead of a suggestion. (OK so today was a long day and so is tomorrow so I am a little punchy) Take a close look at the drawing and visualize the forces encountered with a robot traveling at say 10 ft./sec and then it gets hit from the side by another robot. Think, think, is there anything wrong with the picture. Is there anything missing that could really make this design better?
