What kind of drive-train?
And dimensions? |
Re: pic: Team 1501 T.H.R.U.S.T. presents Delta Fire & Delta Ice
What type of drive train do these use? It wouldn't happen to be Kiwi drive would it?

Re: pic: Team 1501 T.H.R.U.S.T. presents Delta Fire & Delta Ice
it is indeed kiwi drive.

Great looking machines.
Is the intent to switch robots depending on which alliance you're assigned to, or am I reading too far into the different colored twins? |

It is indeed a Kiwi Drive...
It was inspired from Kiwi Drive prototypes we had seen from teams 229 and 857. Specs: Weight: ~75lbs Height: 16.5in Width: 35in (from front view, max width) Length: 31in The Kiwi drive came from analysis of a soccer player, agility/maneuverability is important for them, and we wanted to replicate that in our robots design |

And having both the competition and practice machines be as similar as possible is very important in my opinion as well. |

As for dimensions, I'm not quite sure on the exact numbers, but the base is an equilateral triangle. We designed it to go under the tunnel, but I forget the actual length of each side. |

Awesome bot from team THRUST once again! I love the stuff you guys come up with. Which color is the one that will be competing on the field?

The Robot however does weigh less than 65lbs with Electronics removed, and The Red Robot should be located in our pit if anyone would like to stop by and get a closer look at it. It is our source for spare parts. |

Both of those look very nice, however, I can't help but satisfy my curiosity, so here-goes.
R09> Each registered FRC team can enter ONE (1) ROBOT into the 2010 FRC. That ROBOT shall fully comply with all rules specified in the 2010 FRC manual. Is one of those your practice bot? Are you otherwise planning on swapping other parts to maintain your shiny color-coordination, or am I missing something completely? EDIT: Apparently I cannot read; question answered. |

I'm interested in the ball control mechanism. Do I spy ball casters for the soccer ball to spin against? What else is hiding in there?
Love the compact design! |

The size of the robot will let us go through the tunnel in an orientation. In fact, we can spin inside the tunnel and NOT touch the sides of the tunnel.
Blue bot plays the game and we switch bumpers. |
