I think it will be very hard to find one aspect of FIRST which doesn't inspire us. - Arefin Bari [more]

Looks awesome! The modules look very robust and pretty. Some plating on that thing would make it look like a beast.

I have some questions though. Did you notice any flex in the frame when driving? It looks to me like it is all bolted together. I know people have had problems with frame flex in mecanum drive trains. One of the wheels would lift off the ground, messing up the resultant total force vector, sending the robot in another unforeseen direction.
