I spot me a Tom, and hear me a Henry (and see him getting pushed too).

Re: pic: Team 125 Teaser #3 (not so blurry)
 

Yes, that was Henry being pushed. For reference, he weighs around 185 pounds (up to 200, depending on which scale that you ask ;) ). I'm in the background there too, but making noise isn't my strong suit (nor is that camera's audio, sorry for the sound issues).

I've seen what 195 is supposed to look like. This is nothing like it.:cool:

Thanks, that video was taken in the Curry Student Center at Northeastern University. The student center is the traditional proving ground for robot testing as seen in this picture from 2004. It's also the home of Wendy's, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut :yikes:

i dont see a transmission or anything...

what happens if something gets caught in your electronics/circuits?

that would suck if something metal short circuited your bot and something happened

Re: pic: Team 125 Teaser #3 (not so blurry)
 

The transmissions are built into the side plates of the drive train.
We are going to be adding shells to the robot to protect electronics, I believe.

The stability of that 6wd is amazing! What's your drop on the center wheel, 'cause I want to change ours to do THAT!

1/8"

I think the the smoothness of the drive can be attributed to three things:

A) The tread pattern of wedge top. It seems to have a lot of grip in the forward/reverse direction, but not a ton side to side.
B) We still haven't mounted our arm, so frictional force between the wheels is at a minimum. We plan on the COG being pretty low most of the time, so this shouldn't become a huge issue over time.
C) Our interior frame is ridiculously rigid. I've been told the rule of thumb with 6WD is to keep your frame from flexing around alot.

Functional and a sight for sore eyes. I like it.
