Team #365
# of years of participation? 4
# and type of motors? 2 Bosch's, 2 CIM's
# and type of drive wheels? 4 custom 6" aluminum wheels with neoprene wrapped around, attached by tie-wraps.
# and type of non-drive wheels? 0
Transfer system(chains, belts, etc.)? Chain, independent to each wheel
Transmission (not including supplied ones)? 2 custom, we geared the CIM's down to the same as the bosch's in the low setting.
Steering? Skid steering
Sensors? Two gyro's for autonomous, one for the turn to go up the ramp, one to stop the robot once we got off the ramp.
Success? Everything worked as planned. It was a fairly simple system, so, nothing major broke. Good combination of speed and torque.
Problems? The only problem we ran into was a chain falling off (twice).
Next year? We're looking into hovercraft, and a form of a mag-lev vehicle. No, but we're exploring several more advanced options.
