Glad to see that those wheels worked out for you guys. I enjoyed watching Tatsu bending our mill on every possible axis to get those mecanums cut properly :p Its a bummer you won't be at SVR, but I look forward to seeing your bot in action at Davis. Looks great, can't wait to see the rest of it!

Intresting wheels, where do they come from?

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3
 

It wouldnt be a FIRST bot without them :p

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3
 

Did you make them on a manual mill?

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3
 

yes indeedy. it was, uhh...interesting

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3
 

Wow. That's stunning, I wouldn't ever want to do something like that on a manual machine. You guys did a great job. Sure looks like it was CNC'ed.

How long did it take?

Re: pic: 1072 Teaser #3
 

oops, sry, the pattern was cnc'd, but the roller slots were manual'd

took us about two weeks

looks yummy. well after much of my criticism and speculation if it would be pulled off, I'm glad you guys went for what you wanted to do and actually put it together. I'll be at Davis and I'll get to see how well it works.

(i recently took vector apart to get to the electronics so e-subteam could practice. took me an HOUR to get that bloody lexan plate off)

There called Mecanum wheels, they allow for any direction of movement without turning the bot. 868 used them last year.
