I don't know, I can't remember Rage having anything but a red plywood chassis.

Is that a 4-bar setup that moves the bin back before tilting it forward? (linkage being what the ball is partially covering?)
Looks like 1/8" aluminum plate?? How heavy is it?

I don't think they have ever not had a plywood chassis either but who knows. Either way, there is some nice sheet metal work on this bot. I will be interested to see how effective this strategy is.

It's official, this is RAGE as seen on the Suffield Shakedown webcast. Didn't get to see it score though, so no idea how it works yet. They managed to amass a good number of balls in that hopper.

I'm a little scared that I knew it was Rage so quickly. HAHA. Perhaps I'm too involved...

Now the question is why didn't they use wood? It seems like a perfect year for it.

I asked Jeff about that at Suffield Shakedown, he said don't worry the real one is wood and may have some other surprises as well that this version pictured here doesn't...
