Where to mount the battery?

[Silver]

Thank all of you for your input.

WMarshall11: We're just troubleshooting. Nothing is in legitimate design or construction yet, we just saw the weight of the battery online and decided to try and tackle the issue before it arises. I appreciate the help.

Chris is me: I appreciate the info. Worry not, there's no official CAD designing going on yet, we just downloaded a 6-wheel STEP file to examine.

gpetilli: Thanks for the link. We're thinking aluminum with slots, where we'll implement velcro straps. We hadn't taken sharp objects fully into consideration, so that's a good wake-up call.

jman4747: Thanks for the alternate options. Depending on what happens come Kickoff day, we may well need a plan B.

Yash101: Wow. That was very helpful information. Sadly, I doubt we'll get a functioning electrical team going, considering that our team consists mainly of 5 POE students, but it's a useful idea. The link was also very helpful.

Ice.berg: Thank you for your input. We had been considering what sort of fastener/strap we could use, and the different material examples are helpful.

DonRotolo: Again, nothing's really being designed, but I appreciate the heads-up. Thank you for the info, it helps more than you know.

cgmv123: Thanks. Your design seems cost effective and deceptively simple. I also appreciate the visual provided by your photo.

Stinglikeabee: That's very helpful. Our design will likely be 6 wheel, omnis in front and back.

MetalJacket: Sounds good. Definitely not Mecanum, we're nowhere near ready for that. We're thinking 6 wheel, omnis in front and back.

Again, thanks to everyone for your support.
