Go to Post All I know is that last year in Philadelphi, our camera locked dead onto MOE (Team 365) and their flourescent green shirts during the matches. They might want to consider what would happen if they get pelted with balls during the autonomous period! :ahh: - Greg Marra [more]

Nice Job.
Good eye, You are correct with the 8 wheel drive, the CNC took roughly 2 hours for each plate, however, no lightening holes are necessary since the plate is pocketed in so many places to reduce the weight. It will be tank steered, the front wheels are slightly raised above the rest to allow turning.
