Team 1625's Highlights

[Lightfoot26]

Our team threw a quick video together for our IRI application. Since it's the only video of us in 2013, I figured I would share it!

What ever happened to the 30 point win pump climber?

(Is it weird that I just removed a virus named WINPUMP.EXE from my friend's computer?)

AHH! Our freshman off-season programming training at work! ;)

What drivetrain are you guys using?
In this video and some of your webcasts I noticed that when you are driving you almost do powerslides with you turn, as if you are on a low friction surface

Is it a regular tank drive with all four omni wheels?

Thanks

Most likely Swerve.

Their driving style seems much more like a tank drive though, it doesn't seem like they can strafe

They have the "butterfly" drive. Changeable traction/omni wheel on each corner. Maybe just two corners, I was busy programming when I was at their shop :p

We use a butterfly drive (we call it a Monarch Drive because we are orange and black) It is a 4 wheel tank drive with all omnis, and each wheel has a custom drop down traction wheel. The front and back can be actuated separately. We collaberated with 3928 and they have this handy page to explain it more... (http://www.teamneutrino.org/seasons/ultimate-ascent/robot/butterfly/)

although there are some differences... for example, we use chain instead of belt.
