The chassis up in the air is unique. Makes for a bit higher CG though. These are cool ideas, Phil. You're inspiring me again,... if I had the time.

i have to admit that was Craaig's idea.

these last times, there have been many newbie with original ideas : their bots have many weakness but new concepts are emerging.

stable, but slow, slow , so sloooooooooow .... that it is sometime motionless!

Hehehe. That happens with tank treads. :P

What happens if you lower the plow to 'almost ground' level?

As for Don Quichotte, I think it's better if the chassis is tilted the other way so it faces the floor. I think that increases the wedginess.

I do really like your rebuild, I gotta say.

EDIT: As for stabilization, isn't there a connection point on the other side of the tank treads that could be utilized?

That design is unstable by nature. There's so much forward weight and no stabilizers...
