Re: Pit work during ceremonies

This is something that we've dealt with in the past and in our experience it's very dependent on the event as Josh has said. At the Championship event in 2011 we had 2-3 working in our pit during...

Re: unique strategies that worked....... or didn't

It's funny you should mention that because both strategies were actually things that 1625 and 2451 had a chance to practice in the weeks leading up to worlds. We were lucky enough to have a fun...

Re: Team 1625 Introduces their 2011 Robot: Mr. Cringerpants

Re: Team 1625 Introduces their 2011 Robot: Mr. Cringerpants

Re: Team 1625 Introduces their 2011 Robot: Mr. Cringerpants

Basically, it is a normal 6 wheel west coast style drive, only with internal belt runs rather than chain. The gearbox transfers power through the center wheel which then runs belt to the outer...

Re: Free Drive Belts - Bills Blog

We ordered parts from Gates for our prototype this offseason. I'm not sure if there is a set limit for cost or quantity, but they reserve the right to not give you parts. We were given every item...

Re: Winnovation Midwest Coast Drive

Our wheels weigh approximately 3/8 of a pound, but they could probably be lighter. We used these wheels because they were easy for us to make and cost effective. If we built this drivetrain in an...
