Re: pic: Team 100 Prototype Base - Underside

It's organized and simple, and very light for a drive train and frame and electronics and pneumatics. However, as Squirrel said, weight down low isn't a bad thing. We try to keep a low center of gravity and almost never tip, although the ramps were sometimes a problem and we aren't considered fast. I like how neat and clean the chains are- no tensioners. If I may, I think the motor wires might do better tied against the frame to keep them out of the way. Just my opinion. I do like the frame extending to protect the wheels in the front and back. That would be a nice place to put bumpers; mount them with bolts on either side of the wheels. And good looking welds, too, from what I can see.
