Re: pic: 6-sided tank drive
If tbones were rare and could be easily avoided by good drivers you would not see teams like 254,971,973,148,1114,118,1730,33 and countless other elite teams dedicating engineering hours, money and weight to mechanical aids to get out of pins.
This year we were caught in pins constantly and it slowed us down significantly while simultaneously wearing down our wheels. Often less high scoring teams don't face the same level of defense as their higher scoring counterparts so their robots weaknesses are never exposed. |

Wouldn't a hexagonal shape limit how close you can get to the outside walls of the field? I'd imagine if you skim the wall, you would end up being spun in some direction.

Re: pic: 6-sided tank drive
My students have spent a chunk of their summer designing a hex chassis 8WD because of this very problem; we saw lots of t-bones, and we contributed to a fair number of them. ;) We finished 3D printing the narrow/wide wheels this evening. I've been researching new bumper materials, and the mixing of materials for maximum benefit whether defending or trying to avoid pins. Great stuff!
