Re: The negative effects of FRC
The lunch thing is huge. Every competition I've been to in my 3 years, I've been in the pits nearly the entire time. I'm the drive train operator, so I am constantly in-between running the robot and...

Re: Hex Kiwi Drive
I should have added the pseudo to the original post, but this guy did it just how I did. The only difference is I would have field orientation, so it could have any part of the robot set as forward.

Re: Hex Kiwi Drive
I was mostly joking when I said it's a 6WD. Obviously, the only real similarity is the number of wheels. Where did you get the information about omnis being less grippy? I'm not doubting it at all, I...

Re: Hex Kiwi Drive

Re: Hex Kiwi Drive
I was thinking the same thing about the bumpers.

Hex Kiwi Drive
Over the past few weeks, I have been working on a hex kiwi drive train. It is a six-sided drive, with an omni wheel on each side. This allows for nearly identical speed and pushing power in every...
