Re: Newly Developed Chassis

Thanks everyone-

Our plan for this version of the chassis is actually to make it a test "mule" for our electronics team and to allow our drivers some practice. Our coach decided to surprise the team with this chassis after jests from a couple team members that there was no way he could build a wooden frame that could stand up to the beatings of other robots. At first, many thought he was building a rocking chair...

As for the single motor on each side, we just went with what we had available-all of our CIMs and dewalt transmissions are currently on our other robots, so we just used our fisher-price motors from previous seasons.
Glad to see that you like the woodwork, though-I'll pass it along to our coach.
