Re: How low do you go?
Our chassis is also low to the ground this year (about 1"). I would warn you that 3/8" is in my mind a very bad idea. Many things fall off robots during competition especially bolts. At 3/8" your robot could be high centered (or damaged) by a 1/4" bolt. Also the 1/2in bump in the center of the field could a major issue--I would recommend that if at all possible you modify your design.
