Re: Cybergnomes - FIRST Team 2013's Logomotion Robot Revealed!
Thanks guys. Yes we can score in all positions from either loading method but we prefer loading from the human player. There is alot less risk of the arm becomming damaged. This drive system seems to be quite adept at zipping back and forth accross the field and with 3 motors on each side we hope to be able to powerhouse our way past other robots without mucking about with shifting gears. We'll see how it goes though, we did some practice with a team from Kincardine and with identical friction material our 3 motor drives seemed to be even with their 2 speed 2 CIM AndyMark's as far as pushing power. (But that was before we discovered that 7 of our 10 batteries used on that day were shot and would only hold a quarter of their capacity.... Nobody knows if we were running the fresh KOP batteries during that little scuffle or the lazy ones  My hopes are high that we can do better with healthy power)
