The team purchased a [https://www.andymark.com/peanut-chassis-robot-drive-system-p/am-3417.htm peanut chassis] and built it last year including the drive-base and a minimal control system, however it needs more work to be useful:
* The wheels don't all touch the ground at the same time...this is the perfect opportunity to explore suspension and create a solution that could be used on all peanut bots and gain experience with suspension for use on competition robots.
* The robot lacks camera(s), sensors, and a mechanism to make it do anything useful.

Things to consider:
* FRC rules: COTS gas-filled (pneumatic) shocks (dampers) are legal, but oil-filled shocks are not.
