Talking about trailers







Good Afternoon Teams,

What happens if there aren’t six robots on the field during competition? Six trailers remain in play. We’ve created a bogie wheel to allow unattended trailers to remain in play. A third rover wheel is fitted with a bushing and mounted on the trailer tongue held in place with a clip ring (available from any office supply store. If you have a practice trailer, you might want to create a bogie wheel of your own to experience how this allows the trailer to move during competition.

14 days until Week One Regionals begin,
See you then!

Looks good, but it's too bad that this wasn't in the rule book to begin with.
