Base
Inspired by Spectrum, the swerve mechanism was modified for a low center of gravity, and a 10lb steel belly pan was added. Despite challenges, the team's persistence resulted in the current successful design.
The base design underwent multiple changes in size and configuration throughout the development process. Initially set at 30x30, it was adjusted to 28x28 but reverted to 30x30 due to articulation concerns.Â
In the third week, a setback occurred when newly acquired Neo Vortex motors had to be recalled, leading to a short circuit. After replacement and reevaluation, the base was redesigned to 29x30, accommodating additional features.
