Re: Most Impressive/Advanced/Unique/Cool drivetrain you've ever seen

This year, what we did is we set all of our 4 omniwheels in the corner of our bot and set them at 45 degres. This allowed us to be able to strafe and spin in place and spin while moving forward. I think we had 8 ft per second.

We were the team that spun in circles for 2 matches on the Newton Field this year. We also had a piston in the middle of the robot that pushed down which cause all of our drive modules to expand. It gave us 4 inches on each side. This helped us with out stability.

We used field forward, and the fact that there were so many factors that affected our compass, we had to turn to robot forward, and this caused us to be bad at controlling our robot. But overall, it was cool
