And anyway, isn't the entire point of this chassis to be able to go in any direction without regard to the orientation of the frame? This magic is going to require tons of software. The least of the problems of the coders will be the (relatively minor) directional bias of the CIM motors.

Back to my points about spacing the plates. I think I get it. The pictures are a big help, but I don't have the CAD in my head so I could be screwed up still.

In general, I think it is pretty nice. I like that you have options if you see flexing.

I am anxious to see the movie of your robot floating around gamefield.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, M.
