Re: TEam #2531's Robot-- Chassis and Electrical Board is done!!

Begum,
It looks very nice. There are two things that inspectors will look for in Minnesota. Size is one that rookies have trouble with, make sure that your robot fits inside the sizing specifications. Most teams will actually design for 1/4-1/2 inch below max dimensions to allow for hardware and lexan covers. Size is very strictly enforced. The other will be the flag holder. The rules are very strict about the construction, height and the need for a PWM cable for the lap counter. Check the inspection sheet and you will see what I will be looking for. Glad to see all the Minnesota teams. Chaska is a beautiful place and so is Pryor Lake. I had family in Minnetonka until last year.
