Re: Definitive FRC Mechanisms

I couldn't find much info on the bot, but Team 997 used treads very effectively in 2010.

They're designed and produced by Outback Manufacturing of Bend, OR and have been used on robots since at least 2007.

This is quite the nifty feature. I've always wanted to try it out but the 25 mechanism seems to only work in Gear Based Drivetrains.

103 has used this a few times, but most effectively in our 2007 robot. I do not have any pictures of this, but almost no team was able to move us when we engaged the breaks. And the best part about the brakes is that it did not put any stress on the motors. Its quite a nifty trick that is nice to have, but if we are overweight, its the first thing to go.

If I could add two cents, I think adding a small section on frame materials would be marvelous! One of the most frequent questions I get from people is what a robot is made of. Aluminum, Steel, wood, 1/4th, 1/8th, 1/16th, square tube, C channel, plates...

... Titanium... :rolleyes:

Wildstang (111) in 2003 is still my favorite bots of all time.

A full description of it can be found here
http://www.wildstang.org/2003/inventor/main.html

The Swerve drive, wings and StangPS made this robot king of the hill.

It could plant itself to the ramp and turn on a dime.

It was great to watch it take over Reliant Stadium.
