Nice clean design. Nice layout of the electronics panel.

What are the hinges on the lift for? To make it fit in the Transport Configuration box?

We look forward to playing with your team at Bayou and Lone Star.

We had the hinges at first to make the forks fold inward for transport, but we ended up making them detachable where we can put them on in less than 30 seconds on the field.

Looks nice! Little tip for you, get on either the practice field or game floor asap and test you auto, we found out that the game carpet really changes the values needed driving the omni wheels.

Absolutely. We practiced on a smaller carpeted area near our build space, but our game field was set up on a cork-type floor. Definitely had a terrible time driving on that. Hopefully we can get adjusted to carpet asap.

We practiced on carpet and set up our auto on carpet, but the knap of the carpet isn't the same and found we had to up the values. Wasn't an issue last year with traction wheels, but with the omni wheels major effect.
