WOW!
 

Where did that come from!?!?!?!?! :ahh: :yikes:

Sure looks like those are in the wings. My guess is they run on two motors though, the Window and Fisher. Maybe they even threw the two together like the Drill and Fisher from the last two years. Why else would they have two speed controllers? There's my $.02

uhmmmm.....hmmmmmmm....
 

let me think.......hmmmmmm........

uhmmmm..........nope......sorry :(

Maybe they're just hiding in the back of the bot. I think I've spotted them in the full bot pic from the side. I guess I'm up to my $.04 now.

that may be the case..... but you might wanna look a little closer

the secret will be revealed all in good time :D

/me knows what it's from ;) i received some information about the's omni wheels and where they are from a few VERY good inside sources... hrm, i wonder who they could be?? :]

hrm I think we have a spy in our midsts :p


Its not me, honest!

i think i get it now!

Wow good luck guys...
Everyone here in lafayette is looking forward to meeting up with you in competition.

:]

Well then please explain....it should be fun to see what ya have to say since its probably not right..... :D

i think it is a drive system for the ends of your wings


Bad

heh that was one of the first guesses by Beast314, and like Kyle said, its wrong...

:D

You will find out soon enough.

We're havin' too much fun this year :D

It looks like it's used for turning. Those treads have an aweful lot of traction so they need to lower the omni wheels to turn the robot better. My guess is this is for running the robot in high-gear. Low gear should have enough torque to turn the treads.

it looks to me like it is for keeping the bot up. if it is hit from the side then instead fo getting a lot of impact and possibly tipping it moves sideways some and reduces damage...not to mention the good traction for moving foreward.

Uhhh...nope....we have this really cool thing this year that is called the "puck". The newest version doesnt look much like a puck (but the 1st version did).
