license plates are classified as decoration, so using them in a functional manner isn’t legal.
Our first year we stuck with our really bad tray bot the entire season and didn’t improve it
. Cause we were stupid first years.
that sucks.

After looking at this, I have so many questions, but anyway did you just make this for the memes, or did you have another intention?
Completely for memes. There have been 3 “Kevins”, the first one was built last year, the license plate one (that picture), and finally a metal one that resulted in the bent c-channel.
I can see this winning worlds next year imao
Don’t have a picture, but our alliance partner in states had 15 stacked flat plates on their clawbot as a counter-balance
are you using drilled high strength shafts as structural members? that is both cursed and a decent idea at the same time.
I just had them lying around so I decided to use them. The other side uses angles for bracing instead.
now that’s truly cursed. gotta have symmetry when you can.
the desire for symmetry is the bane of an engineer
Lmao symmetry you gotta have a robot in the first place before you can worry about that.
Symmetry just leads to better build quality. Just put your heart and soul into one half of the robot and now your forced to do the same for the other side.
I can’t stand asymmetry and not having cable management
