Hi i am the vice president of team 238. to let u know more about our drive system. It is a dual drive system. We start out on our wheels which are run by atwood motors so we r very fast going at about 15 fps like my bro said(238junior), ummmm we have one goal grabber which starts out inside of our robot and it detaches and when we latch onto the goal we can unlatch very easily also, with just a flip of a switch. The latch that keeps us on the goal or off is run by neumatics As so is our tracks. When we grab the goal we can drop on our tracks which gives us more traction and is harder to pull us around!! The tracks which our put down by neumatics then run on the fisher price motors if i spelt that right. This is very effective and it gives us the traction when we need it and we can switch back and forth very easily like i said with just a flip of a switch!
