i really like this bot, im not bashing creativity or anything, but one of the teams we picked for our alliance twice this years has an almost identical design. their robot is really good and their a 7th year team, so i think thats a complement. theirs was really good, and from what i can see of yours, so is pipeline, so congratulations!!!!

Thanks, what team was that?

the video says that you used a west coast drivetrain, but unless I'm mistaken, WCD refers specifically to one where the drive axles are supported only on one end, without any extension of the frame around them. the benefit of this is that the wheels can be placed as far as possible apart, giving a robot better turning and stability.

You may be right, but not according to the FIRST wiki: http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/Drive_train

Re: Team Code Orange 3476 2012 Robot Showcase "Pipeline"
 

That page needs to be updated. Trust me, I know my drivetrains :cool: . Not all 6 wheel drives are west coast drives, and not all west coast drives are 6 wheelers.

There are a ton more threads on what a WCD is. I'll post one here once I find it.
