Smog is our working title. Smog will be our demo robot. It is designed to drive up curbs and pop wheelies for fun. Wheelie mechanism is inspired by that on 111's 2012 bot. In the spirit of Disco, Smog will have built in speakers, tons of LEDs, Lasers, and an integrated fog machine. We might even add a mount for a projector for portable movie night.
0.09" Aluminum Sheet metal.
8x6inch wheels. Debating between colsons and pneumatics.
Supershifters.
We intend to build this by the end of summer. We are developing a kickstarter campaign to fund it. Hopefully that will be released soon.
This is by first real sheet metal drivetrain. Please let me know what you think.

If you look at how 254 incorporated a lift kit, it used much less space than your projected one. I can see the big pneumatic cylinders sticking up to be quite annoying.

The current piston stroke is 5 inches. I might increase the stroke for a higher wheelie.

Just want to throw out that depending on the placement of this thing and how far out it goes you could theoretically use this as a stinger as well.

The implementation used by the Cheesypoofs places the cylinder rod in tension. This is a much safer method than one that places the rod in compression since there is less of a chance of bending the rod.
