Our device is going to go right in front of the electronics panels. It will have a small footprint on the robot, but it will be quite tall.

To protect the electronics panels we are going to use lexan and have sponsor logos + goodies on it. It should look pretty slick.

Thanks. The frame is welded as well. Everything there totals 48lbs, and that's everything it needs to drive around. Lifting it is effortless


Video coming soon too!
ok that makes sense... thats actually pretty cool idea! GREAT JOB!
