the robotting begins again
first round changes for flippin' heck:
- flipped the wheel motors around so the center of mass is slightly in front of the wheels instead of behind them
- moved the wheels out a bit to reduce risk of rubbing against the hull if misaligned slightly
- inset the front a bit, also for extra clearance for the scoop in case of misalignment
- not shown in this picture, but the wheel guards (loops of spring wire going out from the front to rear corners) are getting reinforcement of some sort at their mounting points, after the "got tangled in an opponent, stopped the match, spent several minutes untangling them, then immediately did the same thing again" incident last time
