It can be arranged to do as you're thinking, but it is not currently and likely will not be this season. It's a lot of additional complexity for comparably little benefit.

The 'wheel carriers,' as I call them, are built independently of the frame and can be easily from it by removing a handful of bolts. The endmost pieces pivot such that they no longer capture the square tubing alongs its bottom and the whole assembly lifts upward and off the robot. It makes debugging and fixing things far easier and also allows us to keep use multiple frames to facilitate multitasking among our different development teams. The electronics and control systems can be mounted to one frame for software testing and driver practice while the upper parts of the robot are built on an identical frame. When we're ready, we'll be able to move the wheel carriers from the test frame to the real thing.

ohhh tricky. good idea tho. pivoting or lifting/ropping wheel assemblies will make tipping on the 30 degree incline harder.. espescially if your robot is gonna be the full height possible. as i think manye shooters might be. 30 degrees is a BIG incline. we just started asembly on the ramp today and um. WOW.
