Re: pic: SPARK 562's Robot

We're using the drill motors in 1st gear to drive with the provided 4.5:1 reduction system. They do the job, and it let us spend time designing and building other stuff. We used the Chiaphuas the last couple years because we felt the game required a lot of pushing power, but this year we didn't see it as much of an issue.

The arm uses the van door and globe motors, and the hopper is driven by a window motor.
