As you add systems the inefficiencies will show up in battery drain. Possibly a big factor at the end of a match.

I love the picture of your robot climbing the cabinet! Add an anti-gravity unit and you will get up on top!

I think that it is in high gear. Makes sense that way. They will have a FAST robot.


Anywho, check out their drill motor mount!

Already broken, thats gotta be a new record.

Get a new one or fix that one, your drive base looks great. Lightweight, FAST, durable (well, it looks durable, anyway). Compact. A good job.


Best of luck!
