Cpt. Hook Revised Design

 First off, I decided to move my CAD work from Autodesk Inventor to OnShape. This will allow me to open source the design, and I plan to use it as a teaching aid for the FRC team I mentor. The design now has a permanent link here, so you can check it out at any time. I also picked a name Cpt. Hook. I honestly don't have a real reason, I just liked the name.

​I purchased most of the COTS components for the bot and after weighing them, I realized that I was going to be overweight. The gear-motors are denser than I estimated, and I decided to switch from a 2S LiPo to a 3S which added some weight. Additionally, after trying several times to come up with a double-action weapon design, I decided there was not an easy enough way to pull it off.

I decided to drop the double action design, and I simplified the front end geometry by eliminating the back-slope and wheel guards. Now the design looks like:
