Yes, but the robot can only be 28" wide, and the bumpers can only be up to 3.5" on either side. The only thing that matters is the bumpers on the side with our arm; the bumpers on the other side of our partner can hang off of the edge of our robot without problems. This means we only have to consider 31" of their width.

We're going to lift to about 13" just so we don't have any tape measurers brought out to check our height. We plan on using pneumatic pistons for all extensions with sliding 80/20 pieces, it has worked well in the past.

We certainly believe the omnis can take it, we'll see though.

Re: pic: 498's Aircraft Carrier Deployed

Simple, I like it.

The only suggestion I have is to protect your mechanism (arm) structure somehow. At the last minute robots will just drive full speed to get up on your robot (from the side). Since you pointed out in your previous post that you have 30"-32" wide ramp, the drivers of the other team can easily hit the arm. I would propose some sort of railing (doesn't have to be high at all... maybe 2"). Good luck this build season.
