I like the drivetrain alot. Just a thought? How much battery do you pull throughout a 2:30 min span with all the motors?

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

No hard data yet but not anticipating any more than the Recycle Rush bot moving and lifting. Its the same Swerve config and the only time the tank treads run is when activated to run over raised obstacles.

Ok. Was just wondering out of curiosity.

Found that we can conserve a lot if we curtail the celebratory spins after taking down a defense. :rolleyes:

There is a lot of awesome in that drive train. It looks like it can operate with a couple of motors down too. How easy is it to repair the tracks and swerve modules during competitions?

I cannot wait to see this robot play in the NC districts!

Tracks are completely open to bottom and back and pulleys drop out. Track motors/gears are on the back top. Swerve is modular, pull 4 frame bolts and they separate out. You can find the swerve details here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1533

I can reassure you that the video is not a joke. Here is the real ScorpiuS...



However, I cannot confirm or deny whether or not his older brother is coming to the competitions...

Holy canoli, Batman! That drivetrain is no boondoggle, it's a mind-boggle!
