Fun! What circuit do you compete in (sozbots, combots, etc)?

Any specs on that beaut, like armor type, speed, drive base, weapon, etc? Think we could get a "guts" view?

It's fun to see FIRST students branching out.

Oh, it's not a combat robot so the armor is just plain aluminum. Max speed it roughly about 4 fps. Sure, will get a "guts" view soon.

EDIT: Whoops looks like I don't have one right now but could get one next week. Meanwhile I will post other pictures.

Oh, Sumo, then? That would probably explain the many wheel bearings. Did you go with tank tracks, a bunch of urethane wheels, or something else entirely?

That thing looks beastly. I love the 14 wheel drive.

Does this this answer your question :) . Fourteen Colson wheels.

does it have to be first legal?
if not a few websites that would help in the future for parts or questions, etc.

No, it doesn't have to be first legal. We've known about the Robot Marketplace and the Robot Fighting League. Robot Marketplace is actually where we got our Colson wheels. Decent order processing and shipping times.

The drive system you guys uploaded on the other page reminds me a bit of our drive system last year. 14 Wheel drive FTW! :yikes:

Re: pic: Former Team 808 National Robotics Challenge Entry
 

Yeah! 14 wheels ftw! But too much traction and too much torque =/= (does not equal) spinning wheels. Instead, it equals breaking gear teeth. We're working on integrating a slip clutch or something to stop this.
