Mmmm... 8 wheel drive?

Looks sharp! The design looks very simple and effective, should do amazingly well in competition.

8 wheel drive eh....VERY NICE. I remember it was fairly hard to push you guys as opposed to other robots last year in Atlanta. 8 wheel drive should be close to impossible :D

sweet robot!

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

8? wow.....


Also, does the grabber change its angle to the floor to be able to pick up from the wall? Or do you plan on just knocking them down.

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

Yes, it can change its angle.

Once again it looks great I hope to beable to see it in person this year.

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

Great looking robot again! Hope to see it in NJ. Two question though, how does your lift work and are you still using a similar kind of gear drive as last year.

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

A belt system elevates it and we are using the same drive system as every year.

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

We may have out-shined Team 75 this year ;) .

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

Very nice. Was there a specific reason for the shift to an eight wheel drive?

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

yes

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

could you be more specific?

Are the two center pairs lowered, or do you still brute force the turns?

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

I can almost guarantee they brute force it, it's 25 after all....

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

none of the above the to middle ones are omin wheels.

Re: pic: team 25 EM 5 in lift mode
 

omni wheels? Hahahaha. I hope you have a sense of humor

And to answer your question, yes i think we are brute forcing it unless we made an error in the frame :p
