Team 980's "Lunar Lifter"
 

Our Lunacy robot features two-wheel drive and a modest dumper. Here are a couple of short videos of our 2009 robot in action:

Of course, we're withholding our control system to get traction control and robot balance tuned up for competition.

Modest? Looked like a 100% to me. Love the orange tubing, of course, and I can't wait to meet the bright green students;)

Looking forward to dinner with you guys again in Atlanta!!!

I Like the shotgun effect, seems it would score at least a four or five everytime!
Whats the story on that drivetrain though? 2-wheels? Unique...

I'm not sure if that drive train will work you can't have anything touching the ground except this years wheels and it looked like only two wheels that dragged the frame a little.

WOWZERS, I really like that rocking affect. Hope it works out for you guys, great speed on that dumper.

We recognize this issue and have a couple of approaches in work to address it...
