To all the teams out there please just state your team number, what drive system your team uses this year, and what sensor it is and where you purchased it. Just a quick survey am taking. Thank You.

ZTR-type RWD differential drive system.

US Digital Analog Encoders w/always on servo algorithm providing for automatic stability enhancement and higher accuracy positioning by the driver when close to the rack.

Custom gearboxes w/dual cim input on each side for a max velocity of 14ft/s and a max acceleration on flat FIRST regulation carpet of 7ft/s/s.

6WD, kitbot-based, six AndyMark FIRST Wheels with the original material swapped for roughtop (middle and rear) and wedgetop (front), driven by two AndyMark Gen2 Shifters (pneumatic) running the large and small CIMs.

No sensors.

We use the West Coast Drive.
For this year and the last several years we use optical encoders. This year we used the BaneBot encoders (on the AM gearboxes). In the past we've used the Grayhill encoders, or other encoders (I think we've used different encoders each of the last 4 years -- they all seem to work about the same). We also use a gyro.

We also use lots of other sensors on our robot, but that's all for the drive.

Drive system: 14 Wheel, Tank Style Drive (custom wheels), with custom 2 speed Pnumatic Shifter.
Sensors: 2 Optical Encoders with custom made Digital-to-Analog converters (to simplify programming and wiring; don't ask me how it works, I have no idea). :D

Team: 45, TechnoKats
Drive system: "Howard County" drivebase* configured with two 2-motor gearboxes and 6 traction wheels
Sensors: US Digital E4P encoder (on each gearbox output shaft)


* We collaborated with the other two teams in our county last fall to develop a lightweight modular drivebase. It can be assembled as a 6-wheel drive with chains and sprockets driving three live axles on each side from a common gearbox, or with four independently-driven live axles at the corners. The gearbox is a pneumatically-shifted AndyMark gear set with custom side plates and an integrated pneumatic brake.
