I watched the video, very ingenious design. I would like to see this bot in compedtion. I'm glade you were able to mount gards around the wheels. Only problem is that it looks heavy. Are you just runing laps?

I too loved your video.

I suggest you get out the rivet gun and ditch all of those bolts. That will save you a ton of weight.

we are within weight by 19 pounds, including our arm system (yes we are hurdling) +/- extra supports

because switching postions at high speed with traction wheels cause robots to tip over lol

That and omnis give it a cool "Drifting" effect

the outside shell is actually 27 3/4" by 37 3/4" so we are as big as safely possible. the video only shows the inside frame!
