My first design review was today. I'm looking to create a versatile drive train that can handle going straight down the angled ledges instead of zig-zagging. I may opt to use the rubber in the kit to make treads. For ball collection, a roller of some type to pull balls up just by driving into them (similar to many FIRST concepts).
Not much movement on the autonomy front. I'm pretty sure even the people running the autonomy workshop don't know what they are doing with it yet...
