Thanks for the hat-tip! But we certainly didn't invent the side-plates + stand-offs drivetrain, nor have we perfected it. One of the examples we show our students is one of 548's from a few years ago:



Our side plates were 3/16" I believe...

Our drivetrain was quite heavy by most people's standards. I want to say that everything in the Electronics Board picture was over 60 lbs (not including battery).

That's working off a weak memory, although if I made an egregious error, my hope is someone from the team can chime in and correct me.

Hello I'm Grayson! On this project I helped out a little bit with a lot of different parts, including machining, CADing, and assembly. My main contribution was putting together most of the left (I think) drive pod and doing the chains (which took me longer than I care to admit )
