OK... since you asked:
1. Great job. You've got 12 days until ship and your drive train looks awesome.
2. Your speed is good. Also, traction seems to be good with those 6 wheels. If you are wondering about diamond plate aluminum and how your robot will drive on it, don't worry. You will have no problems doing the same move on diamond plate.
3. Your front rollers appear to be a good plan.
(ok... now for some nit-picky stuff)
4. You probably have a plan for this... but you could mount your electronics board better. You don't want to damage those components on the vertically-mounted board (it was flopping around in the video). What you have on there is about $1000 worth of stuff... not easy to replace.
5. Ground clearance could be improved. Sure, you are not rubbing the apex of the ramp when you are travelling that direction, but if you get turned 90 degrees at the top of the ramp, you could get hung up. If you mount your chassis back bar above the level of the side bars, you may have this clearance.
The positives above greatly outweigh my critiques. You are doing well, and have tons of practice time for driving.
Good luck,
