Re: pic: off season chassis

I am with JVN, give it a spin (pun intended) and shoot some video. I would suspect it would have a very crazy behavior if you had a slightly rear biased CG. Take the 2008 game, where you are trying to do laps. If the weight is rear biased, going into the turn I would suspect the robot to initially push (understeer), but then as the weight shifts to the front, and those wheels grab, it would have crazy snap oversteer. With a lot of practice, you could probably make an "FRC Tokyo Drift" video...
