Looks hefty! Very solid, I like that. Have you thought about how you'll get it to the competition? I don't know if that will fit in the crate, so someone might have to drive it...

What size aluminum tube are you using for this?

Glad you brought this up, the only reason the cart is like that is because of our fellow team mate. We have always been over on weight, our robot crate has been fairly light but our 2nd crate has been heavy. It is made of 2x2 6063 aluminum tubing, we are going to weld a couple of corners but most of it is going to be bolted. So the 3 layers are going to be able to come off, and the legs will be wrapped together. So this baby can get compacted really fast.

Seriously though that looks awesome!

if the robot is supposed to fit into that big recess opening up towards us and the top, then I would suggest finalizing the design after november 4th since the maximum chassis dimensions might change.

if it goes on top no worries and the recess is for tools then no worries except stability!

good job!

Thanks so much, We are bolting the top and we were thinking around the same lines.

Thanks a lot

Looks pretty sweet, good luck with it, so far you are doing a great job of planning, and your ideas for the cart itself sound great.

A fellow friend from simbotics gave me a few tips.

I'm assuming you meant January 4th?
