2495 is a team I had the pleasure of mentoring while on co-op. They learned a ton and gained some great resources and skills. Brandon Liatys can answer questions about aspects of the kitbot/robot design. Not pictured:gearbox hex supports, they were being painted white. Great design and prototypes are being refined right now.
Modifications used are custom gussets, this type of construction will be used on the rest of the bot as well. Feel free to ask for CAD of the gussets if you would like. The orange and white is obviously for speed. Watch out for these guys in MAR!

For those interested, here's a zip of the gussets we used. Includes Solidworks Part file, Solidworks Drawing, PDF Drawing, and STEP file.

This robot is beautiful. Brandon Liatys' shirt-orange looks really good on C-channel. Also, props to Brandon Liatys for running this team. Most don't know it, but he does most all the mentoring himself. I expect to see 2495 hit the ground running at their first event, and suggest everyone else watch out for them as well.

Looks good and should be a solid drive for this year. What decision basis determined the replacement of the corner connects with gussets?

Brandon Liatys' shirt-orange is actually a trademarked color and is the official color of 2495 
Looks awesome Brandon.

How did you get this painted?
Spray paint or powder coat?

Since the corner connects were not used, what did you do to ensure the bolts were not over-tightened?

Nice. Corner connectors are heavy. We've done plate corners, and used 1/4" rivets for further weight savings.
