This is my entry into the NRW robot challenge 13-18 category. This is my first instructable so constructive criticism is welcome.
It is a basic chassis that can easily be added to and expanded as necessary. It is a basic 3 wheeled 2 layer bot. I built almost the entire thing from things i had lying around, the only part i brought was the tamiya dual gearbox.

Thank you. I learned some things. I have no experience with robots. There are some things you can probably assume on the part of readers who work with robots, but are beyond what I understand right now. I had to guess at some aspects of robots. You could probably do more Instructables related to some of the basics of different components involved in a robot.
