Buckeye Damage report

[Kyle Love]

FIRST is a contact competition, robots should be built robustly and able to take some vicious hits. After being at the competition, I saw no hits that were close to as hard as some of the hits from past years. The physics of this years game just do not add up to having the "hard hits" of years past. Sure in auton they are going around 6fps towards each other, but in years past you could have had to deal with upwards of 10-12fps head to head impacts.

With that said, I would like to know some stats about your robot. What was the frame made of (material, size and thickness)? How was it constructed (one piece, multiple pieces)?
