Impressive as always!! Can’t wait for Atlanta:D

What was your reason for having the back bumper pop out like that?

Nice looking bot!

My guess is stability because of the change on CoG.

It is attached to the wheelie bar which keeps the platform from getting stuck in the overpass when hurdling.

Beautiful Bees, absolutely beautiful. Everything I expect from the bees and more!

Yep, when you smack into that overpass going 9 ft/sec with a giant claw raised in the air that thing wants to topple over backwards. The wheelie bar is slaved to the lift so as it goes up the bar comes out

Sexy
