1. Ok, no problem

2. Back wheel is in the output shaft of the gearbox. Traction is connected to both omnis.

3. We had a REALLY bad experience with them this year,we did everything right, lowered the middle wheel and all, eventually remove the plactions farthest from the front, but no mater what we did it was slow forward/back and could not turn. Especially because we ar losing over a third of are team this year due to graduation I wanted to leave the other students with a good, simple, working concept for next year.

4. Upper runs have our electronic mounted on plywood, though it may be redone with pegboard to make wiring neater. I did not include it in the renders because it covered up most of the interesting mechanical stuff.

5. Battery and pnuematic stuff (compressor, cylinders and anything else heavy we can stick down in there) are all mounted just in front of the motors underneath the electronics. Due to the pit we built this year it is quite easy to access the underside of the bot.

6. We didn't include bumper mounts because we have no good guess as to what their height would be and we would like to see what the game is before we really design the entire DT. Likely the vertical portions of flexmation will be extended and a second level to mount the bumpers will be built, but it depends on the game.

7. 1/2 aluminum. Ya, ya it's supposed to be heavy, but its dirt cheep, like 1.20 a foot and we have a CNC mill to mill the squares out easily. Each aluminum panel weighs 1.6 lbs so the weight isn't horrible, and they are fairly robust, similar but larger ones were used this year and we had no problems with durability.
