Actually we're just going to keep the frame nice and flexible this year rather than building a suspension system.
It seems to be working so far, although the real test will come once we "close the loop" either through the encoders or a gyro.
(The programmers always like it when I say stuff like that.)
We're at about 55 pounds as seen in video/photos and will be adding a lift/arm combo, pneumatics and ramp to get up to 125 pounds.
Um... yeah... I know. We always have to shed a bit of weight just before we ship. I'm guessing it will be only five pounds or so this year.
We're looking forward to Portland, too. It is always a good time... and we're bringing some friends from north of the border down with us this time. It will be 2273's first FIRST experience!
