This frame is a native 6mm design. (unlike 03, which was half 3mm, and 02, which was designed half 3mm then manufactured all 6mm.) This is sort of pricey, but frame 03 had a really flimsy feel to it, and I think I'll be able to find a place to have these cut online cheaper.
This is a whole new complete frame except for the suspension springs, which hopefully mcmaster will deliver this week. The full 6mm design with standoffs and moderate kerf correction is the toughest design since the highly overengineered ABS frame 01.
This is frame 06. It is identical to frame 04 except the suspension bolts are a little bit closer to the suspension strut cutouts, i.e. placed correctly. This design is going to last for a while, or at least until I get board 03 done. Frame 05 was overadjusted for kerf and nothing fit right and we shall no longer speak of it.
This is compressed somewhat by putting some parts under the avr and the buzzer on the back. It lacks jtag, but it has an icsp connector. It has a second max232 specifically for the sonar so it is 4 times more powerful transmitting. It has an adjustable hysteresis external comparator which should suck less. It has a new variable gain element with a datasheet that specifically says "make before break switching for no glitches". The old one didn't claim that. The charger transistor is not in backwards. Ideally this should arrive before the end of the month.
