 I would ask for Florida to take a vote on best team, but my fear of "Hanging Chad" in close decisions has not fully subsided. - IKE [more] |

This looks to be the bottom of a west coast chassis. Nice second bot.

Those rivets sure are placed funny. What could be attaching to the majority of the middle of your belly pan? Looks like a lot of cross supports... Or the structure for some kind of lift.

It's too thick to be a standard belly pan. I'm too lazy to search atm, but I'm fairly certain I remember several WCD teams stating they use 1/8" plate as a belly pan.
There are 2 vertical black cylinders underneath it, if you look through the gussets. Additionally, the far edges of this have holes that look like they may match up with the long rack gears Adam posted a few weeks ago. Finally, the large right-angle hole on the left hand side doesn't match any common gearbox patterns for a drive train.
Are you even hanging tubes with this bot?

)The orange looks a little light, Adam. Or is that just because of the photo?

We're looking at switching to variable length plastic rivets in the future to save a little more weight (they cost about the same anyway).
