First frame we built for conducting speed tests. The tin can in the background was for simulating the weight of the robot

Our first cart and tether design. Thankfully we decided to cut baseplate in the end otherwise we would have far too few beams for our bot

Prototype of tether/cart release mechanism. like how we transfered power from the motor to the 'doors'? ghetto.
