I'm not so sure about that. To me, it looks like the aluminum belly pan of the long oriented frame seems to have cutouts for gearboxes right in the middle. Also, why would an elevator need a belly pan? Maybe it's honestly just a second chassis. Perhaps they're just being GP and helping another team fab or sharing their work space.

Although to be completely honest, I don't know what you're making here, but I really hope it's a flop-bot. After all, this is the first year flop-bots have been legal for a very long time.

Who added the tags that are with the picture?
I'm seeing #returnoftheminibot and chassis...
Those are my guesses as of now.

For the long chassis, assuming your stacking inside the chassis perimeter, are you guys planning on driving on the scoring platform and just dropping the stack there?If so you will have trouble with a 6WD since you have a center wheel pivoting on the scoring platform when ontop.

My guess is building a robot.

BigJack is correct! This is for a team we are helping to mentor. They were not able to meet much during winter break at the school and have limited resources.

although...

This does not mean we are not doing the 2 robot 1 battery minibot concept. Anything could still happen in 3 weeks...

That was a really classy troll there. Thank you for helping out another team; chassis work always takes a toll on fabricators.
