My inventor practice as of today. Decided to make a full robot instead of just a drivetrain. All suggestions from my last upload were added. The shoter is wide enough to launch 4 fuel at once and will be powered by two miniCIMs. Current weight is 54.6lbs
Still to come:
-intake
-climber
-gearage (maybe)
-various belts/pulleys/motors/gears
Any questions/further suggestions are much appreciated!

Big-bHow are you getting the fuel into the shooter? From looking at the model, it seems like they would have to come from outside the bot.

Just curious, is your wheel well 6" wide in the front to accommodate the 6" minimum bumper length from the corner rule?

Big-bI see it now, thanks. The model looks really good, are you thinking of posting the cad when you're done?

The bumpers themselves will be 6" wide in the corners. Is this illegal?

No, it's required. However, be mindful of R31, particularly the part I made bold:
Some angle brackets on the side of the wheel modules that extend in to 6" from the corners would be adequate to comply with the rules. |
