aww thats so cool and i really wanted to win the Creativity Award this year :(


i wont be able to sleep till i see you robot.

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

How well does it turn/maneuver? Do you have a lot of decent control over it, or is movement very static? From what you have tested, is it comparable to other drivetrains?

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

Instant fan. I want to see this thing built!

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

Well, I guess the adage about 68 never loosing a pushing match still holds true... :eek:

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

After watching that video, I am stunned. That is possibly the coolest drive train that I have ever seen, and I spend a whole lot of time looking at other robots.t his is just...wow. Post a video of the final bot as soon as you can! Please! :D

Disclaimer: T3 is not building legs onto their robot this year. It is important for teams to come up with their own designs based on the strategy they have decided as a team. At no time has FIRST team 68 considered legs. I should mention that the doors to our shop are always open to teams who are interested in checking out what we are doing. Feel free to stop in but don't be surprised if we put you to work. Lol

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

They WILL put you to work... There is no may.

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

Aww, I was really hoping we would see the first (truly) legged FRC robot this year!

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

I can't believe people are still perpetuating this myth. It's been around since at least 2002, which ironically is the year that we dragged them and two goals across the field. Or maybe that doesn't count because it was a pulling match :rolleyes:

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

No, this is not our design, It was a way to get others excited about FIRST and out of the box thinking. Out of the box thinking is what makes FIRST great, it drives creativity, and inspiration.

I believe that the idea came when people started talking about octanum, and articulating crab drive, hey why not a walking robot, so I spent 2hrs on CAD... and now we have a viral walking prototype...

Maby an off season design?

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

Truck Town wanted to perpetuate the myth that the saying "Nobody pushes Truck Town" is false. Thus, you weren't pulling them--you only think you were. In fact, they were pushing you. :p

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

We should have a year where everyone has to build a walking robot (or at least have no drive wheels)... they'd have some kind of simplistic KOP "legs" and basic walking setup... but they'd allow teams to design their own legs and walking system, within certain constraints. i think it'd be an interesting game dynamic, that would create alot of innovative and interesting designs and would require teams do some research and learn alot. the rest of the game could be fairly simple since the walking could provide more than enough challenges.

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

so you waste our time for something your not even making??????????

rage quits.

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

Aww, was hoping to see this at MSC. Good luck anyhow this season with whatever design you guys actually chose.

Re: Team 68 Teaser #1
 

I don't know... looks like truck is pulling you...
