looks like you are using metal bumpers? or are they the mounts for the bumpers?

If those were metal bumpers, and the only bumpers they used, then they would have no chance of passing inspection.

Looks like you have decided to stick with the tunnel route? A good choice if you ask me. Very clean looking chassis. Beautiful.

Looks nice and clean 842. Maybe I'll make it to your pit in Atlanta to check it out. Good luck.

Please correct my errors in vision or understanding, but don't the mecanum wheel rollers need to be inline with the diagonals? If so, it appears to me that you need to swap front to rear. Or does it work out the same either way??

I question myself because 842 is such an engineering power-house and innovator.

is the quick check to see if you can spin the robot about it's center, on it's rollers? if so you have them backwards.
