Re: pic: Team 223 Chassis

I hear you Adam...but how about if you estimate the CG of the proposed design, and think about whether or not you'd recommend your team go with it?

And just because a team has been around a long time does not mean all the people on the team have been. Some teams lose their experienced members and don't have the depth of knowledge that is available on CD.

I also agree that being tall does not mean having a poor CG. Howerver, having that much extruded aluminum high up, off center, and on a sideways drive base with a very short wheelbase, is an open invitation to disaster. btdt
