Yes bumpers will go across an our second stage. We will be using 6 inch IFI wheels modified to make ASSEM easier. I can post a pic if someone wants it. We are planning to have our robot about 2.5 feet tall.

David, your team and pink inspired me to do it. In 2008 I saw Pink's belly pan and I was like "What no braces, how?". Then in 2009, I saw 968/254's and I was like wow that is so epic. I asked Cory and Adam over the offseason the pros and cons of the pan. Decided to try it in 2010.

I think the pan is great for multiple reason, with the holes it allows you to line up the drivetrain better and we made another one for your top stage which helped out our welders a ton. We broke a record and got our entire bot welded in one day.

Wow Jamie, I totally didn't notice that. hahahaha

We make our frame out of 2x1 @ .0625/.125 thickness. The pan itself is just 6061 aluminum. I really do wish I did sheet, I'll have to take John up on his tour of IFI or spam him in Atlanta.
