Here's a photo of Team 190's 2008 base chassis. I's not a good general all-purpose frame; rather it was highly customized for our design strategy.

It's four motor (3 CIM, one Globe), 4WD drive (two custom omni, two Colsons). It's designed to allow our robot to drive right up against a wall, then drop the rPOD to scoot sideways into it, in order to position ourselves perfectly for our "unique" trackball strategy.
