Nice use of versaframe on your robot. Mostly looks okay. A bit too boxy for my aesthetic, but oh well function over form. Your bumpers look too small. As shown, they look 2.5" tall instead of the legal 5". It also looks like there needs to be something in the middle of the intake to bring the balls all the way up.
How much of this did you prototype?
I am a little worried about the flex of that 1/2" hex shaft on the climber. assuming it is something like thunderhex it would need a secondary support on the far side of the ‘spool’ (in relation to the climbing gearbox). I do not doubt it would work in its current configuration, but longevity may be an issue.
Have you taken any other steps (besides gearbox placement) to mitigate these radial loads when the robot is in its off-the-ground configuration?
