We decided to rename this bot to 'Caddywhompus'
WIth the offset wheels, and the floppy wedge, it looks well....a bit Caddy and a whole lot of Whompus.....lol
It drives as well as any robot I've seen and driven. I attended a robotics meeting at MLEC today and let a slew of students take it for a test drive....It actually won its first battle by knocking the wheels off of its opponent.
The floppy wedge stays flat onthe floor, even when the bot goes 'Caddy'....
I will be finishing it up with outboard axle supports, more nut bars and then after some more testing, the panels will be off to heat treat along with those from the other wedge (which is still vapor at the moment)
Stay tuned, more to come, some video as well!!
We are picking a battle cage of sorts (no floor or roof???) tomorrow, so maybe some weapon testing or battle video will be coming up soon
