THAT IS AMAZING I WONDER WHAT THAT BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF MY KEYBOARD LABELED "CAPS LOCK" DOES. Oh yeah, it makes my writing legible and more easily understood. Huh, whodathunk?


Back on topic, what's the estimated weight on these? I was debating a version of this myself, but the weight in my design was, well... Prohibitive, to say the least.

Craig, is it really a necessity to be so demeaning and sarcastic over something so trivial? Huh? There are millions of forums out there where people are rude for the superficial satisfaction they receive from it, however, to my knowledge, this has never been one of them. If you insist on correcting someone's poor CD caps-lock skills, at least be kind about it.
Just a thought...

It's been 2 years since I've seen you guys in action and yet you still never cease to amaze

I think riding on this robot would be something like riding a washing machine...

4 of those and the control system should leave you about enough extra weight to hold the whole thing together with a single zip tie. Make it happen I say.

Zip tie or die.....thats our motto

Great Idea! Our team had it too, but it is not legal.

There WILL be a point where one of the required wheels makes contact with the floor at an angle that is not in the correct, required orientation.

[Darkcrosbone]

see THAT is EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED!

somebody make a petition to make First change the rule!!!

[Steven Sigley]

haha sweet 701 was planning the same thing till we read the rule on wheel orientation....
