Re: 2017 Drive Train
Based on the current stock Andymark has for Toughbox Micros, I think that a lot of teams are going for mecanum.:yikes:

Re: 2017 Drive Train
We used h-drive in 2015 and got it working great. Mechanum is something we have never done because a) we haven't needed it and b) its more complicated than a tank or h-drive. For this year's game tank drive is probably best. For lining things up, just practice with the tank drive and build some mechanisms in for maneuvering game pieces within the bot.

In fact, Ultimate ascent was easier than this game when it came to driving, because you could put yourself in safe zones when you shot. This year? Prepared to be pushed while putting the gear on or shooting into the goal. Build a tank drive. |
Re: 2017 Drive Train
On a slightly different note, what motor / gearing / wheel size setup are you all using? Ideal feet per second I would imagine is relatively high. Shifting or no shifting? We are leaning towards 6 cim ~10-12 fps no shifting but I don't have great experience to tell if we got it in the right range or not for this game.

Personally I'm not a big shifting guy, I think it takes a very skilled driver to use it effectively. |
Re: 2017 Drive Train
Here on 1640 we plan to use our swerve drive again (big suprise). This year we are also going to introduce our CVT swerve to the field.

Re: 2017 Drive Train
I personally think mechanum or Omni with tread-wheel hybrid. That's just an idea though. Problem is the amperage for mechanum.
