If there is ANY robot I could buy, I would buy the drive base of the 2001 Chief Delphi 8 motors swerve base. That drive system is a monster! I would buy it to reverse engineer/study, AND see what can be done to make it better. That drive base deserve more than 6 weeks of work to be done on it.
The Kingman 2002 robot will be another top choice of mine. Excellent drive system with really high speed and strong pushing force because of the transmission. But the most impressive about that robot is its arms on top that's capable of lifting 2 goals of 180 lbs each at the same time. I would buy this robot and bring it to team 71's headquarter and see which robot can push harder.
