Oooooh pretty, loving the welds. I love how everyone notices the back first. Any info on how many wheels and what motors you were planning ot use for your drivetrain.

Nice Job and Congrats on your FIRST post.

If we took a picture of our frame, I'd have to say its almost an identical twin of this one.

Our Frame had to go on a DIET before going to the Long Beach Regional.

sexiest gear boxes of them all, really how much do they weight?

At the risk of becoming tedious, what else goes on that frame? Clearly there is no provision for bumpers to be attached to a solid portion of the bumper perimeter in the pieces shown here.

Gary, I'm sure that 60 has already thought of that. Otherwise, I'd have brought it up yesterday. My guess is that they'll run "removable" frame down the outside, with attachments to the standoffs.

It almost looks like a four wheel drive set up with front wheel steering, but it sure is hard to tell in that picture! I guess I'll know when I see it in person at the AZ regional... and hopefully it will be all sorts of pretty colors by then, too.

Did the students actually do this?

Do what? Could you please try to make your posts a little more relevant? You haven't added much content to the multiple threads in which you have posted today. You might re-read the rules of the forum.

Re: pic: 60's 2009 robot.

This frame is similar to ours.
I am guessing that we were thinking along the same lines; a removable outer solid portion that allows us to swap out wheels easily if necessary.
5n1p3r,
It certainly isn't impossible for students to do, especially the welding.

Re: pic: 60's 2009 robot.

I know back when I was on team 60 (~5 years ago) the students made most of the parts, the exceptions being complicated parts and welding. I'm sure that is still the case.

Team 60- Looks interesting, can't wait to see it in action. Good Luck
