How does it run on carpet?

[Brandon Holley]

nice work guys...what are you running at high and low speed?

we haven't tried it on carpet.

It's running in high gear.

If I see that freakin' hat one more time...

(It's a general consensus among 675 that the hat is evil. It walks up to you and is all like "Hello, I am a hat.")

That being said, Looks like it's coming along nicely. Now all you need is a payload.

[Lil' Lavery]

What size sprockets do you have on your axles?

What size sprockets do you have on your axles?
And, on a similar note, how big are your wheels?

[mizscience]

It seems very maneuverable. Good job!

:]

[=Martin=Taylor=]

Wheels are 8" pneumatics from skyway, and the sprockets are 30 tooth.

We figured we'd want a fast bot, since the playing field is big and open.

High gear: 15 fps
Low gear: 8 fps
(calculated speeds)

Right now the wheels aren't inflated. If we have trouble turning on carpet we will simply pump-up the middle wheel to give us more "rock."

It's also controled by an XBOX 360 controler :)

Looks very fast, it will be interesting to see how well it runs with the payload. Congratulations on completing a working drive train within the first week, that's an impressive feat that not many teams are capable of.

BTW: Could you post a video with the xbox controller controlling it? I just have to see this :).

very nice. looks like your using the andy marks... we use the same and get about 16fps and 7fps... but thats without the load of the arm, ramp, or anything we put on it...
