I ran some numbers with both the 550's and the 775's and while the 550 was capable of doing what we needed it to do, we felt that the added robustness of the 775 was something that we wanted.

Sweet!!! what made yall decide on 6WD?

There was really no reason that we could come up with to not build a 6WD. The field is flat, relatively unobstructed, and the game called for mobility, speed and pushing power (Or at least the ability to hold your ground), so we felt that 6WD was the best option to fit all of those.

-Brando

We're running the stock gear ratios on the Super Shifter. With a 6" wheel, we're looking at a low Gear of somewhere around 5fps and a high gear somewhere around 13fps after adjusting for efficiency and all that fun stuff.

Are you building the same lift as your 08 bot?

Kinsuk, Thanks for the kind words. Yes, we are planning on using 6"x1" AM Plaction wheels, just like we used last year. I've yet to find anything better in the same price range that has been proven to handle the abuse of FRC.

Also, I don't know if Tyler told you or not, but our Practice field will be available Starting on January 31st, I'd love it if you guys came down for some scrimmaging.

We talked about it, and then ruled out the idea once the 60" cylinder was ruled as 84". Problem with that lift was that it was heavy as all hell and there wasn't really an easy way to lighten it up.
