Looks very clean Rudy, I'll be inspecting at Alamo so I'll stop by and check it out in person.

Redo91Is the chain setup just for redundancy?

I might be mistaken, but if those are 1" hole spacings in the chassis, I think that frame might have a frame perimeter that is well over the 112" allowed this year.
(112" perimeter is 28"x28", and that robot appears to look bigger than that, but maybe it's shorter front-to-back than I think it is...)
PS: I'm not trying to cause trouble, but rather hoping to help avoid problems if you have a robot frame that's too big.
PPS: Reminds me of our 2007 season when my wife was measuring the robot for final bumper assembly 20 hours before ship and asked us all why the robot was 1.5" wider than allowed -- we all said that we designed the robot a half-inch undersized and that she must have measured wrong! 5 minutes later we were trying to figure out how we would be able to take 2" out of the middle of the robot!

Thank you for your concern. Our frame measurements are 24x30 which would leave us at 108 for our frame perimeter.

Awesome news! It is shorter front-to-back than I thought. From the perspective of the photo, it was hard to tell how much space was between the wheels and at the far end of the robot.
