What's the weight of each frame by the way?
Akash,

I'll get up a close shot of the frame itself. Our sponsor this year felt like doing extra on the blue frame, the redish one is just regular. But the Blue frame is called a "Pearl Blue" powdercoat. It is blue with dark specs inside of it, that changes colors from blue to a black. They also gave us a clear coat over the whole thing, team 1323 really appreciates the tougher powdercoat job.



Here's a higher Q pic of the frames:

Am I missing something, or are they too tall to go under the tunnel? Either way, I can't wait to see them in action at SVR!
Thanks Jamie,

Well we decided we didn't want to go under the tunnel after we built the field. With our layout we couldn't really cut anything width wise. We tried going through the tunnel with bot at 27.5" plus the bumpers and it was near impossible. So we made the trade off and we are going over the ramp/bump.

I feel 1323 pairing up with some others.
If not, why 3 robots?
You can catch 2 of the 3 bots at the UC Davis Regional.

Rich,

The third bot will either be black or white, depending what our sponsor feels like doing.
