Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Awesome demo...how well does the thing turn vs 6 wheels, mechanums, etc?

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Love the articulated drive. See you guys in St. Louis.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Awesome frame. It's stuff like this that made me wish I wanted to use a more complex suspension drive earlier in the season.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

This is really sick. Only problem is turning but I see Omnis! Who woudl've thunk :o

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Looking good!

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

That chassis system looks very familiar. ;)

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

I really wish I could use youtube at school so I could see this drive. Greg always come up with original and innovative robotic designs.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

I am sure you have seen this type of drive before. :p

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Was that your kicker that hit coming down off the bump the second time?

Nice drivetrain.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Thanks all for your complements, I will pass them along to my team.


While it is very similar to 340's bot in 2004 in function and it was Jason who was able to confirm it worked. The idea came from a general brain storming with the team and the implementation inspiration came from the drive team 73 used in 2003 and 2004.



The outer wheels are omnis, so the effective wheel base is 10 inches. The bot turns within it's own footprint with little resistance.



Yes our kicker is what hit, the mechanism that holds it and pulls it back was not on the robot at the time of the video

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Very nice, Greg. I can't see, but surely you have some Dewalt transmissions on there ;)

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Sweet looking drive-train Greg!!

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Looks Awesome! Great Idea for the wheels.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Thanks all.

don't worry, we have 3 DeWALT transmissions on there.

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

Man, that's cool. Rolls nicely over those bumps. (I may or may not have watched this video close to seven times by now)

Re: 2775 Bump Teaser
 

that is so cool... my team was thinking of doing that during brainstorming
