Re: pic: Team 1305's second robot.

You guys aren't wrong. It is 14 powered wheel drive using 4" wheels. We choose this design to try and disable the defences as well AS a track without having the extra difficuly and breakability. And our choice has been very good.

The intake arm clears the bumpers by ~ 1/4". It is very close. There is very little space anyways on this robot.

We choose to colon performa wheels for their durability and robustness. We didn't choose pneumatic tire for 2 main reasons; cost (30+dollars per wheel), and the reduced driving capability when not crossing a defence.
