I'm noticing gears sticking out above your chassis. I know in years past, the game objects have ended up in every possible place on a robot, and some impossible. Do you guys have any plans to cover the gears to stop tubes from being shredded?

2 sets of bearings doesn't always mean 4 bar. One could be for a motor/transmission input.

Does that look a little scaled down or is that just the angle?

Your arm looks nice but the fortê that grabs me is the low wheel base. How do you plan to scale a ramp?

I'm pretty sure they have the corners of their drivebase angled up, to allow getting on the ramp with ease.

Looking closely at the photo, you can see "sleighs" at the front and rear edges of the robot. I'm not sure what they're technically called, but these little slanted cuts remind me of the front of a horse-driven sleigh. When you hit something horizontally with them, they transfer the force vertically, and let you go up it.

Last year 177 implemented something similar using a hacksaw. 125's solution looks more elegant.

It's not scaled down. The chairs behind it probably did that. Black also has the effect of looking a bit "small" from a distance. We can climb ramps up to 33 degrees, so the low wheel base is not particularly an issue.
