This was one of my favorite robots from this past 2008 season, could someone explain this robot? A couple questions:

-what is the material used to lift the forklift (plastic chain, belts?)
-did you guys use dewalts
-how did those fisher price boxes work out?

Thanks.

-its kevlar reinforced timing belt from McMaster
-nope
-lol the FP's worked great actually, just got burning hot at the end of matches (but that's expected) We mounted the speed controller fans on there and they were fine.

We'll be improving the airflow on those if we decide to use them again next year for a similar application.
