Looks about right for a 48 bot.

2 speed west coast drive me thinks.

Steamrolling the competition, are we?

That's a pretty sweet drum for a winch?

It seems to be a ribbon cable flattener.

I did wonder how those got made...

Am I the only one who has no clue what that is? Even though it looks pretty sweet.:confused:

seems to be a vex pro wheel, but with a ton of the size adjustment inserts. I did not know that many could be coupled together...

Re: pic: Team 48 - Go wide or go home!
 

Those are the optional inserts from 8 VexPro traction wheels all thrown onto one wheel.
VexPro traction wheels come in two halves with two extra inserts to expand the wheel from 1" to 1.5" or 2" wide variations.

So they're probably planning on a 6 or 8 wheel drive and just put all the inserts together on one wheel for our benefit.

You're no fun! :)

And I was really looking forward to seeing four of those on robot at Queen City.

Looks like you got it figured out before me. I was thinking it would make a decent roller (with tread of course) to pick up frisbees from the floor.

If I counted correctly, there are 18 wheel inserts. That would translate to:
One 1.5" wide 8 wheel drive with one spare
OR
One 2" wide 6 wheel drive with no spares.

Re: pic: Team 48 - Go wide or go home!
 

I counted 16 wheel inserts plus two wheel halves.
It's the number of wheel halves that make the wheel, not the number of inserts, because the insert is just a ring-no spokes, no hub.

Since every VexPro traction wheel comes with two inserts and two wheel halves each.
16/2 = 8 wheels.

Reminds me of an old BattleBot, Punjar:
