Re: Drive System

1. 8 wheel drive, forgot diameter of our plaction wheels, Andymark Super Shifters for high pushing power low speed gear & high speed gear, and pneumatic cylinders to articulate outside wheels for easy turning or shift gears in the Super Shifters.

2. We wanted to make BOB able to use pushing power while keeping the ability to move across the field quickly if needed at 12ft/s if I remember correctly. The team decided that the middle of the field will be crowded so pushing power will be used if needed to continue on our path or blocking others'.
