the frame after being cheeseholed, was 10lbs.. and before you ask? 17lbs!
we lost 7lbs from all the cheesholing, and it's still very structurally sound. And, yes, has been powdercoated, and the blue is a lot more brilliant in person.
You're gonna love it even more at VCU under the bright lights.

We're still thinking over that, but yes it seems likely we're going to be using a "talented" driver to make those crazy arcs, that he's gotten so good at. We are including some closed loop programming for the mechanism, and autonomous mode of course

Actually Joe, we're planning on replacing our red/blue flag used for the designation of alliance, with the American flag. It's our new way of pychin' people out.
Thanks for the feedback!
