Here is a
peek at the underside of the robot. All three wheels on each side are powered by a 3 CIM Vexpro ball shifting transmission. We are only using two CIMs on each side though. The 3 CIM design has better mounting points than the 2 CIM ball shifter. (In this pic, you'll note that one of our red idler rollers had shattered. It was a low fill 3d printed prototype that we probably shouldn't have used...)
Flagstaff should be a fun event this year! It's the first year a competition will be held at the Walkup Skydome. Some strong local teams, and a few from out of state. 125, 192, and 2122 are all coming to play, and they will probably make our robot look like something built in a garage by amateurs.
