Looks like a very solid setup.
If you use the line following sensors, where would you put them?
I only ask because the first words out of the student programmer's mouth was "I want my line followers here, here, and here", which correlated to the front corners of the robot and the center of the robot. In this setup, it looks like those sensors would interfere with the live axles (they're about an inch tall), though other modifications could be made.
I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
