Re: Team 100 Robot Reveal 2016: BALLista

Hey hey, you're the first other team I've seen to use this style of drivetrain this year! How are you liking your variant of the wheel-and-tread design?

We're running a pair of 8" pneumatic wheels on each side, and bridging the gap with a double-sided HTD timing belt. From what I've seen, this style of drivetrain is much smoother while crossing the static obstacles than any other style of drivetrain, especially on the ramparts!
