Thanks for the info Art. I'll keep that in mind for future sheet steel projects.
I actually think I drew the most inspiration from team 1024's 2008 chassis as far as the fold pattern goes. However, I definitly took a few looks at the NiagraFIRST 06' bots while designing this as well. At the time, we were seriously considering building this drive system. I contacted Karthik regarding belt selection and he highly recommended Gates belting over Brecoflex.
During kickoff last year, when they announced the slick floor surface, our team all looked at eachother with huge smiles because we thought for sure this design would be coming to life... and then 5 seconds later, they announced the rover wheels mandate.
