Team 812
2 years
2 Drill Motors
4- 9 x 2 skyways
No No No non-drive wheels
Chains that control the sides of the robot
Supplied Transmission with a few adjustments nothing to gears

Steering: 2 globe with Universal Joints to articulate wheels
3 types of steering-
Mode A: Where the rear and front turn in opposite directions like Chevy's truck commercial
Mode B: Where the rear and front steer same direction
Mode C: Tank

No sensors
Success: 6th at AZ 9th qualifying

Problems: Not that good because the wheels could only turn 30 deg, we had 10 deg of play to the left, design problem with the key always shearing under the globes DO NOT USE THE HOUSING FOR THE TRANSMISSION GIVEN, We had every possible problem happen to us at least 3 times at SoCal.

DONT USE TOO MANY CUSTOM PARTS, THEY"RE A REAL HASSLE AT COMPETITION ESPECIALLY IF THEY BReAK BETWEEN MATCHES

The team was planning on using chiaphua's with high reduction, the mechanics team and I wanna do and plan this summer a dual output, shifting on the fly with at least 4 gear ratios drive system.

Or maybe Servo?
