Re: Team 61 driving

Code:
Did you all specifically choose tank treads for easier balancing on the bridge?
I'm interested in hearing why you all chose tank.
Why we picked the track drive:
1) Can go over the middle bar very easily.
2) Can balance very easily.
3) Very hard to be pushed when scoring.
4) If we think of defense then we could play defense but not on our top list.

Code:
What motor do you use to get the bridge down? or is it pneumatic?
The van door motor. very nice for this job.
