Team 696
3rd year team
2 drills and 2 chiaphuas
4 Skyway 9x2 Beadlok turned down to 8.5 di
0 non-drive wheels (casters are not allowed near our robots)
#35 Chain with carbon steel sprockets riding on 5/8 keyway shaft
3.5:1 reduction between Chiss and Drills; 4.8 reduction between drills and wheels
Skid Steering
No sensors
Much success, 9fps and loads of torque.
Problems - Misalignment, shafts wandering out.
Next year - Provided we have the same equipment, we will either do the same thing with some minor refinements or have a totally new 2 speed drive. Depends on game and engineer support.
