Don't get mne wrong, I love the design but how is this not considered a turret? Just becasue you put the bumpers on it? I hope that there is not an overzealous inspector that rules against this design. I wouldn't, but I know some that would ....
I'm just looking out for my friends in Southern California.

I would think that this is not dissimilar to any drive train that has independently steered wheels.... so which wheel in our swerve is the robot? they all move independently and you could loosely say we have a turret design too...
I would think that the robot...for this game.... could be defined as whatever attaches directly to the trailer...
I hope you guys do well.... and we hope to see you in Atlanta again..
