Nice work 2791. Your chassis is solid, clean and very professional looking. Hats off to you guys, it's truly beautiful.

Very nice looking, love the blue...

Looking forward to seeing it at the RPI Tech Park in a few weeks

First of all, that is a pretty chassis. Powder coating always makes robots look more "professional."

I was wondering why you decided to go 6wd with a "wide" robot. Most teams decide to go 6wd with a dropped center to make it easier to turn a long robot. However, you already have the wide track width that is required to turn. Was there something else that factored into your decision?

Me Gusta! I really like to see powder coated frames! Are those the toughbox micros?

I assume that its so they can cross the barrier...

Very interesting gearboxes. It appears that you've decided to spend a bit of weight on an extra set of 2nd stage output gears in order to keep the center of gravity nice and low. Seems like a smart choice for a game with a barrier to traverse and a bridge to climb.

Actually it serves two purposes. First, wide robots are easier to fit three to a bridge. We were uncomfortable with hanging wheels off the edge of the ramp to balance three without knowing if we had enough weight to load the side that is on the bridge.

Second, it gives a wide opening for our intake while eliminating the need for a "drop down intake" that some long robots are utilizing this year.

Fun fact, this robot will be unable to cross the barrier. Bridge only.

Nope. The gearboxes are custom, but based off the toughbox.We added two gears per side in order to "streamline" the gearboxes. It doesn't really serve a purpose other than looking nice and keeping them out of the way.

Jack and the rest of FRC2791,

It looks like you are going to need to keep some windex around to remove the finger prints.

Seriously clean and simple. Welcome to the Colson Performa wheel club.

Gorgeous! I'm glad to finally see some people going wide-orientation

Nice! I'll see you at GSR

Is this CAD or IRL? Because everyone knows Gary can out CAD all of EWCP combined. However, I'm still going to try and give him a run for his money.
