At nationals there was the coolest drivetrain i have ever seen. I think it was teem 738 or 278 or 378, I don't remember. they were in Newton and their colors were yellow and purple. They made their own wheel system and they called it Jester Drive. It was really called Mechanum Drive, some brilliant swedish design. It allowed the robot to go in every direction depending upon how the wheels turned. It was the coolest thing i had ever seen...way cooler than omni wheels or tracks or 6wd or anything i had ever seen.
You guys know who you are...it was insane.
