Re: Stronghold Drivetrain Review

We were the first team to come up with Mecatankanum. It was four mecanum wheels with pulleys on the axles with tank treads attached. This allowed us to fly over all of the drivable obstacles easily. The reason we went with this design was because of the size of the goal compared to the ball as well as we always use mecanums because we love them. The whole robot ended up weighing in at 108 pounds! The guy who came up with the design of the rhino drive design said he loved our design and said it was the coolest drivetrain ever!

Also, we plan on making some improvements like drop down treads and maybe version 2.
