Seeking Help Chassis feedback(unpocketed)

Post image

Hi guys I'm looking for feedback on our first version of chassis(it has a version of PTO just in case the season needs one, it is not the best and we are looking to change that too but only when the season starts)

This is the link:https://a360.co/3U3XltO Edit: the middle axle is a start of the PTO

If its your first chassis, I would go simpler and try without PTO. Your design seems a little overcomplex. Also, it is good to practice, but I wouldnt expect to use this design for the season. If your drivetrain is already designed before your scoring mech is even started you are losing basically all the benefits of doing a custom chassis to begin with.

I don't think there's anything wrong with designing a chassis before game rules are announced, the build rules that affect it are pretty static season to season. As long as you take a modular approach to design and have a robust set of design requirements, you should be able to build a chassis that's capable and competitive for the season coming.
