Re: Robot progress
 

We currently are using a modular system. We have two drive wheels with direct drive motors and bearing blocks mounted to our wheel baseplate. The wheel baseplate, in turn will easily mount to our chassis frame, which is fabricated from round tubular aluminum. We have four omni-wheels that we have mounted to the chassis , on the corners. We're in the process of mounting oue electrical system onto the chasis, and in two days, hopefully our system for lifting and hurdling the trackball. I'm expecting that we'll be fully operational by Saturday afternoon.

Team 1923:

Drive base: 100% done and crazy fast.
Electronics: 100% done.
Pneumatics: 75%-ish.
Device #1: 85-90%. (I hadn't seen it before we packed up on saturday.)
Device #2 (still unsure of whether we're using it or not): 20%.

Look forward to seeing you all at NJ! (Maybe the championship? We're hoping.)
:)

Re: Robot progress
 

We are a bit behind, our custom transmissions are 99% done. We have all the parts for our base but it's just not assembled. Software is actually ahead of build and probably around 75% done. As for our manipulator... it needs some work. We should be good to go for our media launch which is next week (Feb 12th) and we MAY be broadcasting it online, we still need to decide.

Re: Robot progress
 

we're behind as well. we got our base frame built and are just starting to put our motor systems and wiring.

I didnt exactly read throught the hold thread...but if i can help, for your torque: did you guys consider changing the amount of gear/sprocket tooth on the transmission?
