Thanks! We ended up using the Rhino track modules.

Looks good to. Really am interested to see where this team is in 5 years, I predict greatness. You guys look great. Also can't wait to play with you guys in STL.

[Georges]

I hope so. Thank you!

Looks good! One thing though is that it may be difficult to get over the rough terrain depending on the clearance underneath your main frame. I'm not really sure why I've seen it more on the Rhino Tracks compared to pneumatic wheels but a lot of teams it seems like are mounting there frames lower, causing them to get stuck on rough terrain.

I'd say rough terrain is the obstacle I'm most concerned about, especially with our diamond-pattern belly pan. That said, we're planning on bringing a poly carbonate piece that we can place underneath that will barely detract from the ground clearance. We have around 1.5" of clearance, so we'll see.

Nice looking robot Cafe! I've seen a couple people in the area using tracks, but I don't think one using a Rhino. Our field is also open Saturdays to come and test your robot. It looks really good and simple. Hope to see it closer at Chaifetz in a couple days.
