We will be testing a wide chassis today and adding weight for a more realistic evaluation.

LOL looks like the Robocats will save us from posting similar video. Now if we could only get together and record some vid of robots trying to pin other bots' trailers and such. Perhaps by the end of the week, we can.

Did you order direct or go through like lowes or home depot...
What did the final bill come to 600 + shipping?

They were all there in stock at Home Depot.

We're lucky to have a smaller field area - we'd have had to buy twice as much if we were constructing a full field like we've done at the old facility since our inception.

It's not a bad deal when you consider how many other local teams will use the practice area before (and after) ship. I'm sure other teams and organizations who build larger practice facilities and share with others arrive at the same conclusion.

yeah, but like for our team we only have 3 (lowe's fails) but its concerning me that we dont at least have any rolling frame with the new wheels because the team coach claims that we dont have time to build mock ups of two different designs to decide which is better...

How much does the robot weigh?
