Step 11CHASSIS & DRIVE TRAIN - 4
Quite a bit of time has been spent reworking the VEX chassis to keep it as light as possible and still have all the parts fit. Particularly challenging was the choice of monitor. Originally I used a lightweight 7 LCD screen, but it had such low resolution that it was impossible to see well. Ultimately, an old 17 LCD did the trick, although with a considerable toll in added weight.
Another build issue is weight distribution. The battery, inverter and power supplies must be positioned so that their weight is centered between the wheels and not putting too much strain on either one. All of these issues combine to make a challenging puzzle of tightly packed components and zip-tied cables.
