Nice drivetrain, George. :)

Re: pic: 1083 Render
 

a four point omniwheel.... + theyre at 45degrees too.
i like it better than a crabdrive! definitly easier to make. well, I think so.
and probably faster direction change too. with crab, unless you reverse, it takes time to change the direction.
oh, yeah. but you can't do 'car-like-driving' with this design.
i really like this tho. how much do omniwheels cost? i'm just too lazy to look it up. and we'd never be able to machine any. how will you get up the 6in? stairs?
as cool as it is, I wouldn't think this is the best year to do this tho. maybe im wrong. can't wait to see a real photo!
or wait! if you're in pontiac, mi does that mean i get to meet this at the regionals?!?!? AWESOME!!

Well they're not dealing at all with the stairs, from another picture they posted it seems they're hanging from the side and sending a hook up to the bar from there (that big pole swings down to an angle then extends a hook up) i really like this design alot since it will be almost a perfect match for our bot, can't wait to see u guys at ucf!

You saw that the post says Pontiac, MI...but that is for the CD47-bot. Team 1083 is actually in Orlando, FL. (I believe)

Re: pic: 1083 Render

Re: pic: 1083 Render
 

Chief Delphi is in Pontiac and the CD-47 bot automatically starts threads when people want to discuss certain pictures or other things on the site.
