Is it 3 wheel swerve?

[Ricky Q.]

How fast is this little bugger?

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Looks like John's armor dream came true.

But but but... how do we know if it meets <R66> and <R72> if it doesn't have a "front"? This robot could cause considerable confustication at inspection me thinks!

[RoXmySoX]

that is a really awesome looking robot. the only one ive seen that looks like that.

[GMKlenklen]

IMHO not having a "front" is extremely irrelevant during inspection. Obviously the indicator lamp marks the "front". non-classical designs shouldn't be discouraged.

The front is obviously the side from which you can see the diagnostic light.

Very nice!

[Koko Ed]

Whichever way the RC is facing is the front.

It seems odd to me that a team that was so good at scoring last year would stick to a driving chassis this year. It does have a complex drive system and may still be very good at scoring, though.

Interesting.

I think you are going to be very surprised by how well these little lap runner bots are going to do. Especially motoring around the track at the speed they are. They are more or less guaranteed points, no dealing with the ball, no dealing with the overpass...just speed and points.
