Some specs:

Drive Train: 2-speed shift on the fly coaxial swerve drive, about 14 fps in top gear? Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Aren.

Pickup Mechanism: Twin angled rollers that can suck in the trackball from various angles, up to about 40 degrees off to either side. If we have a straight-ish shot at the trackball we don't have to slow down at all.

Hurdling mechanism: Reliable shooter that consistently places the ball over the overpass, whether we have forward momentum or are at a standstill. We have various safety precautiouns in place to ensure the safety of those around our shooter.

We also have a poker mechanism that uses our forward (or backward!) momentum to knock the trackball off the overpass in both the Hybrid and Teleoperated periods

Hybrid: Our hybrid mode has the prospect to score 20 points within approximately 10 seconds.

In a simulated match, we were able to hurdle six times during teleoperated period.

WOW, that is one of the coolest robots i have seen all year. Why are you guys so good with swerve drive, you guys have a smooth swerve and surely will be a force to be reckoned with.

Aren Hill designed the swerve drive last year and this year
I must say this years swerve is a HUGE upgrade from last year....
It is very smooth and responsive

woot for 7068 hex aluminum axles and snaprings they make stuff much nicer to work on no more of those silly keys and setscrews

Re: Team 1625 Winnovation 2008 robot
 

Thank you!

It sure is! Lots easier to work on, too.

Yep! Just think . . . no more broaching . . . ;)

...Proving once again that swerve drive beats everything. Great job, guys, that is one really competative robot.

Do you guys have any pictures of your swerve system that you'd be willing to share? It seems to work amazingly well.

Re: Team 1625 Winnovation 2008 robot
 

I am very, very impressed. Great job.

Re: Team 1625 Winnovation 2008 robot
 

Wow! Very nice... I just love watching swerve drives...drive

Re: Team 1625 Winnovation 2008 robot
 

This is probably the best looking and best performing robot that 1625 has produced for their first regional. All the other ones got tweaked after the first regional to be made better, but I think this one will be good right off the bat.

Re: Team 1625 Winnovation 2008 robot
 

I'm sorry i didnt take any pics of the drivetrain before it was shipped off, chicago's 5 days away though and i'll make sure to snap some for ya
