Right now it has some of those funky grooved bearings from a previous KOP, which are desinged to be used on metal slides. We ordered some of the new KOP wheel bearings, which should fit in place of the funky ones. See our
2009 Build photo gallery on the NERDS web page for more detailed photos.
I don't know how much weight it can handle...but it's handling about 12 lbs right now, and seems to be pretty sturdy. I dontk now how it would fare against a direct hit from something during a match...we'll have to think about that. If the robot fell over, it could be damaged.
