Would you be able to snap us a pic of the live axle hubs you are using? I would really like to see how they look. Are they very similar to Foss' dead axle hubs?

Beautiful looking chassis Jack! Looks like Shaker is really raising the bar this year with their belt driven WCD. Can't wait to see it at the RPI field and compete with you at regionals!

Would you happen to know a weight for that?

It weighs 41lbs as shown.

A picture of our colson hubs can be found here. The press was the same size as the dead axle hubs RC and WCP are selling. and they were fairly easy to broach (we find the wider the piece, the straighter it broaches). The main difference between the live and dead axle hubs is our hubs do not have the flange for sprocket attachment.

I am very impressed to see the progress that Shaker has made over the past 3 years. 2010 was obviously your most successful year, but the last year and a half you guys have stepped up your game and the designs keep getting better and better. I hope that this year you have more build time than you guys did last year and I look forward to seeing you guys compete. I believe this is the year that 2791 will bring home their first banner.

Dunno man, pretty sure we might be catching up to Gary in the CAD department - but real bots are all that matter.

What's the criteria for best looking? Because our robot isn't exactly going to be pretty, or even painted for that matter (except for our red pop rivets of course). In fact we'd already sudo-kicknamed this years bot the "Fat Swan".

We hope so too!!:D Jack is really stepping it up this year with this chassis this year. So we have a good base, and a lot more good things to come... We have to thank our sponsors PVA for the machine and welding time, they were so nice they even offered to powder coat it. We also need to thank Noel's Machine shop for the bumper mounts and more parts not shown here.

Nice work so far team 2791. I like the fact that you guys are going to how a wide bot but I have a few questions.
  1. What is the Gear ratio of the gear boxes?
  2. Does your robot have any dropped wheels?
  3. How do you expect to turn if one set of wheel are not dropped?

The gear ratio is 12.75:1, standard TB ratio.
We do have a dropped center wheel, so we plan to turn like everyone else.
