Re: pic: 1675's REAL IRI Upgrade

This "upgrade" was a friendly joke / prank from the kids on 1625. They obviously removed them, despite some of us friends teasing them that it was a big improvement. 1675 responded by hiding hundreds of mecanum rollers in 1625's tools.

Yeah, how dare we point out "facts" and stuff in an engineering discussion.

I think Einstein may not be the best sample for pointing out a correlation between traction drives and success, but I certainly can name far, FAR more top robots with traction drives. I certainly don't think the best teams are just too sucky at using mecanum drives to appreciate them!
