Team 4028 Rookie Robot

Careful with those bumpers. I know they're not finished yet but make sure you realize you are currently in violation of [R31]:

Joints between Bumpers and the radial projections of corners must be filled with pool noodle material. Examples of implementation are shown in Figure 4‑6.

Look in the manual under that rule, there's a diagram of what is allowed and what is not. Your bumpers appear to be identical to the "NOT OK" diagram. Essentially, you need to fill in the gaps at the corners. It's pretty easy, just glue/double-stick-tape/ziptie a small piece of noodle, with hole looking up, to the edge of one of your bumpers on all sides. Again, look at the diagram. The inspector might let it slide for a rookie team, but I wouldn't count on it, and since you haven't put on the fabric yet it should be an easy fix right now.

Make sure you test drive it on carpet! That's where you'll be competing, and sometimes it happens that rookies(and veterans) forget to do so until the first match, only to find out they have too much lateral traction and they can't turn. Again, much easier to fix now than at competition, you usually just replace the frontmost, backmost, or all wheels with ones with less traction. If you dropped the center, you should be fine.

EDIT: If need be, replace the non-powered wheels first.

All in all, looking really good- you both move, AND can score!
