well those aren't the final bumbers, we only put them on so that we could see how well it would climb with them on. we have new ones made to fit the bot.

I'm really curious how you came up with that name, it sounds like it has a good story behind it

What's the frame perimeter of the bot? It looks so small and cute.

the robot is 17" x 28 1/2" and weighs a whopping 70lbs! we found 4 wheels were unecessary so we eliminated 2 of them and replaced it with a roller, the weight dropped dramatically allowing for an easier climb. The name Son of a Dog's Lunch is because one of our mentors constintally told us our work looked like a dog's lunch last year so we named our robot last year A Dog's Lunch. since this year it's much smaller and our mentor still called it a Dog's lunch it only seemed fitting!
