That's not a problem, it appears to be one of those trick drivetrains, like the tyco rc cars. It can flip over and still drive. Unless those wheels are to be used to hold the ball?

I hope they fixed it!

transmissions are not usually below the wheel line, as far as I can tell that is; that might prove difficult in driving now wont it...

Looks like somebody put the entire far side assembly on backwards. You'd drive in a lovely little circle like that! Like a fish with 1 fin.

Well, it'll corner better than other 'bots.

I believe this practice base (summer project) came in at 70ish pounds. But we're probably gonna trim a bit of that weight for our bot-in-progress.

No safety glasses?

Oh, and your drivetrain, of course.

It's times like these that make me consider removing all references to 294 in my profile/signature .



But, seriously.... WHAT?!?!?!?! How could you even do that to my baby

As for the weight; keep in mind that includes all electronics, parts that have yet to be lightened, heavier transmissions and heavier drive modules than what will be used.


EDIT: They are wearing safety glasses, you can see them just barely; awkward angle
