I understand that this is basically your 2005 robot and that you are taking into consideration and improving the concepts from that bot. . .
But even though the robot will be able to travel easily over the bump and somehow hang in during the last 20 seconds; the 8 wheel drive system worries me.

. . . How well does it turn?
. . . Is it fast enough to play defensively?
. . . Kicking system? (If the robot is not that maneuverable it will have trouble lining up shots.)

Related to questions 1 and 3 - if those are 4" wheels...AndyMark makes 4" plastic omniwheels.

Thank you Travis.

After some testing, I think we are going to "bump up" to the 6 inch wheels and omniwheels in the front and back. This should solve most turning problems that might arise. I wont' lie, we have had some problems with turning in the past, but we should have that worked out this year. We are running AM 2 speed transmissions and 4 cims, so it is plenty fast enough, but who said we are playing defense?
