Newly Developed Chassis

[sprocketeater]

Hi everyone,

Team 418 and team coach Tony Bertucci have been hard at work returning to our roots, and we've designed an improved (simple, lighter, and more robust) chassis for the '09 season!

Without further ado, here are some specs:
-6 wheel drive, lowered center wheels
-7 pounds, 16 ounces (9 pounds lighter than our chassis for Overdrive)
-#25 chain runs from the center wheel to the front and back wheels
-It currently has kitbot wheels, but those can be modified
-Chain tensioners built-in
-Supports the weight of various team members

For comparison, here's a picture of this year's robot:
ZePHyr
and...
Pictures of the new one(they're a little grainy since they're cell phone images, but this is still a work in progress; I'll post better ones once it's done):
