This robot looks TINY!! How big is it... it looks like those mecanum wheels could fit in the palm of my hand.

It appears the wheels are 6" AM Mecanums, being that they're supported by similar-sized toughboxes and cantilevered in a similar manner to what we are doing. At first I was concerned about accessibility for maintenance, yet now I believe they can access everything within those fiberglass walls via the underbelly. The holes are for pneumatic actuation, which should allow them to kick with their publicized YouTube method. The mecanums wheels should allow them to efficiently kick on all 4 sides of the bot, and being that there is 1 hole on each side, I presume that's their strategy.
Great overall design! I especially love how the bumpers are supported, and how what appears to be hanging mechanism supports mount directly to the main bottom frame.
