Re: 1885's prototype...first version
I really like the use of 80/20 extrusion for the front and back framing members - it provides a remarkably simple construction method that I wouldn't have thought of myself. I'm usually not a big fan of 80/20 as anything other than a prototype material, but this looks to me like a very good solution.
Be cautious with the 6-CIM single-speed drive if you use it on your competition bot - it's very easy to trip your main breaker if your gearing is too aggressive (we found this out the hard way last year). Shifters are definitely the way to go.

The true beauty is, no matter what the game (Yes, even 2001), we spend these 6 weeks going crazy with design strategy, and trying to figure out a way to work the plot twists that the GDC throws at us...and its a blast. - Andy Grady [more]
