I am making a presentation for my team and I need help identifying the robots and transmissions in these photos. All photos are from the FIRST Robotics Waterloo Regional website. I am looking to see if anyone recognizes these robot images by team name or team number. Thank you! (Sorry if some of the photos are a tad too large.)

I did the Inventor file for this one back in 2003, but I think the files were originally created by Andy Baker.

Holonomic drive robot http://firstrobotics.uwaterloo.ca/resources/galleries/drivetrains/drivetrains131.jpg

this is the thunderchickens (217) in 2002. It is actually a crab drive with CVT transmissions. Look at this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2548)
this is a 4 wheel holomonic drive (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2548)

It's actually a swerve drive (crab is a sub-variant of swerve, in which all 4 wheels rotate together. As shown in this photo, the front wheels rotate independently of the rear wheels). But either way, it is NOT a holonomic drive. Both Swerve and Holonomic are types of "Omni-Drives" though.

Yeah, it actually says right on the robot. Well, on the battery.

I think this (http://firstrobotics.uwaterloo.ca/resources/galleries/gearboxes/gearboxes08.jpg) one is from 250.
