Thank you for the pics though! It's good to see what others have done for their own personal projects.

Does Dawgma have a kit chassis sitting around?
It's easy to use and already there!

Be sure to post it when your done!

Also have any pics of this year drives?

Funny thing about our kit chassis...

I think we cut most of it up and used it on our cart, battery mount, and as parts of our ramps. I don't think there is much left to it. I'm not too worried about materials though. I'll see what we have spare from this year and invest in whatever else I need.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/28131?Here's a shot of our robot from the side during the Philly regional. The gearbox is mounted in the middle of the chassis and chained to both the wheels. This way we'll have at least one wheel moving if one of the chains break.

I could use this configuration for the drivetrain or the drivetrain similar to the 6wd. Either would work for what I want to do.

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be at the Championship event with team 1712. I'm still looking for a pair of old radios, as well as old 883 Victors, a 120 Amp Main Power Switch, and two extra globes. If anyone is going down and has some of these parts to spare, it would be greatly appricated. I'm also willing to buy these parts from teams if needed.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find a distrubution block to use, that would be cool as well.

Thanks to everyone in advance! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Atlanta!

It would be easier to use one of the fuse panels that were in the kits years ago. I have a large and a small one and they work wonderfully for my robot.

I don't know what kind they are though, I am at college and they are at home. Maybe a someone else will remember what I am talking about.

If you can find out the names that would be greatly appriciated! Thank you.
