Sweet robot guys, love the lighting. More importantly, i love the sing mix. Did you guys mix it yourselves?

In that case, we copyright the name "Thor" for all the hammer teams this year. ;)

No, the song is Radioactive in the Dark by Madison Cardoza. Here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/madisoncardoz...ve-in-the-dark

I take it back... I thought I saw phantom mecanums. (Phancanums?)

Ok, I am lost now :confused: , it looks like at certain points in the video, it has omni wheels, then it switches to mecanum wheels. So is it a Nonadrive, an octocanum, or is nonacanum actually a thing....

omg this robot is so sexy.

Orlando has a legit claim as the #1 non-championship competition this year.

Other than ours, this is my favorite robot this year.

Probably one of my favorite robots I've seen so far this year. The one advantage that I see you have is your height. Gonna be hard to block that.

I think it is just an H-drive omni setup with colsons on the outside for when they get into pushing matches. I don't think it's ever Mecanum, the 4in Mecanum wheels hubs look a lot different then anything shown it the video. I think it just how the omni wheels look when they spin.

Edit: Also awesome work CRyptonite, this thing looks amazing and I'm glad to see more teams trying new drive trains this season. The big three Texas regionals are going to be very interesting.

There's still one very well known Texas team that hasn't revealed yet, I wonder when they are going to get around to that.

Drivebase at 0:44
Looks like the colsons dig in when they get pushed, using the drop center tilt rather than an active piston to actuate the "butterfly" mechanism.

Never seen that before (I don't have much experience with drivetrains) but looks very ingenious and effective.

Ok, JVN confused me.

Don't you need something to get extra pressure/suspension on the center wheel (referring to 148's set up)?

Not sure if they traditionally have done reveals...now would be a good year to do one ;)

Actually, there is a picture at 0:45 that shows a pneumatic actuation on one set of colsons so I think it's actuated to push down the colsons. By dropping one set of wheels the robot will shift up on to the other set as well and pull all 5 omni wheels off the ground.

Now that I have had all of 20 minutes to think about this, this is a pretty brilliant drivetrain. Advantages of butterfly, H-drive, and west coast all rolled into one. I really hope this works well as I might be taking some inspiration from this in the future.
