Long day. We had a ~2-10 meeting in which we made some good progress. I was working on chassis and drive-train with Aron Linker, and had some very serious design issues. We had problems due to maximum dimensions and creating the ability to go over the 4"x6" bump in the middle of the field. We are still quite unsure as to what to do, however we settled (pending...) on a very short, wide chassis design with a high-strength, dual purpose "arm" for both tipping the bridge, and for assisting in balance when crossing the bump.
Not much more tonight. I want to get to bed early as I have early-prototyping plans for the morning. More on that tomorrow.
Also hoping to load some screenshots of the CAD files from Project ÜberTank, as well as some truly inspiring footage of our main technical mentor Adam Reif.
