Re: pic: BeachBot Pseudo-Crab drive, partially assembled

Team 330,

This is an interesting design. I don't want to be a rules miser or anything, but don't you technically have a robot that is turreted and the bumpers move with respect to the drive base. We specifically ruled out doing something like this because the frame that the motors and gearboxes are connected to is technically your fixed drive base. The top structure is a turret that moving. Don't get mne wrong, I love the design but how is this not considered a turret? Just becasue you put the bumpers on it? I hope that there is not an overzealous inspector that rules against this design. I wouldn't, but I know some that would ....

I'm just looking out for my friends in Southern California.

Paul
