You guys need to read the fine print.

I seem to recall Kyle saying something like "here are
some pictures of our chassis PROTOTYPE" (emphasis added).

That is why it obviously uses 4 Fisher Price motors
(illegal) and it doesn't have any grippers, etc.

By the way, it is extremely cool. I have never seen a
drive system like this in FIRST before. There have
been steerable drives before but not one that
effectively pivots the front and rear axles in this way.

Honestly, I am not sure that I would duplicate this
drive, but it is a definite innovation.

Hats off to the Rhode Warriors!

Can't wait to see what the rest of your limbo-bot looks
like.

Props to Team #121 also for sharing their robot (or at
least a proto of the chassis) so early.

P.S. Look for CAD pics of CD 6 in about a week. Real
pictures in about 1.5 weeks (Lord willin' and the creek
don't rise).
