I witnessed this, and it was particularly nasty. Im not claiming to know the workings of their robot, however simply put, if they shortened the width of the chasis by about 2 inches, they would have room to put stock across the axles as a sort of guard.

But after seeing how succesful that chassis was, it is only a small detail.


To address the poster, you have a good chasis on your hands. However have you considered some sort of shifting tranny? If you use them, they can give you a big advantage as far as driving goes.
