The year before that (Aim High) we had a small two tier design, which worked well. This year we brought it back, but had to expand the size a tad to get fit pneumatics and such on.

That's probably the most interesting electronics set up I've seen this year. Would you care to tell us what else goes on the robot?

Our device is going to go right in front of the electronics panels. It will have a small footprint on the robot, but it will be quite tall.

To protect the electronics panels we are going to use lexan and have sponsor logos + goodies on it. It should look pretty slick.

nice direst drive

Thanks. The frame is welded as well. Everything there totals 48lbs, and that's everything it needs to drive around. Lifting it is effortless


Video coming soon too!
