Re: Goig "wide" with the chassis

DO NOT HAVE NULL WHEELS THIS YEAR.

This has been repeated frequently in many threads. Have all wheels powered otherwise they are useless and add dead weight.

A toughbox on each wheel does work well. Just make sure if you use it on a final robot that your toughboxes have washers keeping the keys in and that they are lightened. Replace the clear backing with Al and add lightening patterns all around. Also the side plates don't need to be there, might want to just add in some delrin standoffs instead. Hope that helps.
