Re: 3310 - RED HEN
You're reading what I said wrong. Because of the very visible CIM motor for the arm we would only HAVE 3 to do a drive train with...which should eliminate everything but tank from being an option. It is a 2CIM tank, geared up in a way to provide the same torque as 4CIMs....no one pushed us around to bad.
We also used IFI roughtop tread on the middle wheels, and actually cut up a "welcome" mat from wal-mart to be used as tread for the other 4...worked BEAUTIFULLY.
Our arm was probbaly the largest one there, and we were the only team to my knowledge, to use a claw gripper on an arm.
We also won the Industrial Design award for our arm.
We were 5th seed alliance captain, and one of the top scoring robots of the competition. I think we did pretty well for being a second year team.
