Re: Team 2013's Inventor prototype
The mechanums are massive, 24 lbs for wheels? Maybe you can lighten them up a bit, swiss cheese style. Beyond that the design looks simple but effective, similar to the direction that my team is headed. As for your concerns with weight, I would be genuinely surprised if your bot weighed of 100 lbs but I do not know how your boy is constructed so i am not the best judge of its weight. My only concern is the lead screw, my team has used it before and had it fail. Just be careful with it, and test it a bunch. Better for it to fail in the shop then at a regional.
