Re: Low Cost Field BOM

My initial thoughts are that there is a single, complicated moving object. There is a LOT of wood on the BOM, and the 5" diameter casters, those things are designed to support a lot of weight. I wouldn't be surprised to see a moving platform that robots can climb onto. This could be like 1999 (or maybe it is just wishful thinking). In any case I think the wood is probably for a rather complicated moving platform (let's call it the puck). Another possibility I thought of is stairs, judging by the quantity of the 2x4's and 2x6's. Maybe there are stairs in addition to the puck? What do you all think?
