Wow, you actually pulled off a 6WD swerve. I am going to have to see this at Midwest. Can't wait.

How is are the wheels grouped? R/L power, F/M/R steer?

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

the power is grouped right side and left side. all of the wheels are steered together.

I just love all of the awesome drivetrains that are coming out this year. Does the six wheel swerve drive let you get over the bump, or did you build it for a different reason?

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

6wd swerve!:ahh: mind blown.

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

Cool Robot!


It looked like your kicker extended past the bumper perimeter?

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

It does go over the bump, just not that gracefully.
unless completely necessary we will probably opt for the tunnel

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

It's so strange to see a small bot after last years tank! This one drives like a champ (however that was absolutely expected)! Gorgeous, guys.

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

Crazy crazy crazy. It looks awesome!

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

With the center 2 wheels added, you seriously limit yourself in traversing the bump.
Why did you choose 6 wheel over 4 wheel swerve drive?

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

having the extra 2 wheels allows us to keep our CG down lower and fixes the major issue with a swerve, rotating the robot.
the center wheels are dropped like any other 6 wheel drive robot.

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

This looks frighteningly similar to our robot, from the swerve drive to the cam kicker, all the way up to the off-center numbers on the front bumper!
Your hanging mechanism is decidedly epic.
How far does it kick?

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

It has adjustable tension on the kicker, so it can score anywhere from right in front of the goal to the other side of the field.

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

I could have sworn one of you guys told me you'd never ever do a 6wd swerve... sneaky sneaky.

Looks extremely impressive, not what I expected from you guys this year. I'm just glad I don't have to compete against it 3 events in a row!

Re: Winnovation 1625 2010
 

Aren lied and told me they wouldn't do a 6w swerve either.

Didn't expect anything less from you guys. Highly impressive.
