Re: pic: 296 bot up till today

Hahahahah yeah, we've got a like 6 inches of snow and like 2 feet forecasted, the car has a right to be dirty. and as pat said, our teacher parking garage is in the basement right next to the workshop so it provides a wonderful open space for practice.

we dont have a suspension for the omni-wheels, but they work great, unfortunately we had an incident involving the lift motor today, lets just say our bot is "on fire" in more ways than one

concerning ramping... uh we've been thinking of that and we have a few plans to improve wheel clearance, though i dont know how much play we have in terms of height limits. [weights not bad now, we've planned carefully to keep it low]

look forward to seeing you all
