Latest iteration looks great! Get some bumpers and weight and drive it like you stole it.

I got to see the previous one (in the car crushing video) in person. It's an extremely clever design that somehow ranks high in all of the desirable categories; extremely stiff, relatively lightweight, and can literally be cut out and assembled in an afternoon out of $50 worth of material. The drop-out wheel modules are pretty neat too, I don't think I've seen something done quite like that before.

Great prototype, I can't wait to see you apply these design concepts to the rest of your robot this season. Might be my new favorite build material.

It appears that some parts were not saved in the same place as the rest of the project and were left behind when put on grabcad. Most of these parts are spacers and things that are not important

What parts are missing for you?

I just looked over the GrabCAD model and it looks like everything is there. I used SolidWorks Pack and Go, so it should have captured all of the parts regardless of location.

This is the message I got. I looked through the folder and couldn't find the part.

I re-uploaded the model; try downloading again.

Is it just me or did the Download All button go missing. I now have to download all of the files individually.

Missing for me too. That's odd.

Could it be a setting in the project?

I don't see anything.

Very nice. Our team has had laser cut chassis for the past two years, but they are nowhere near as modular as yours.

Thank you. We looked at your team's robots when we were trying to figure out whether or how a laser-cut robot would work.

Do you guys have any experience with wood gearboxes or bearing press fits? We're trying them on this robot but won't have much time to test them before build season.
