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

Kiwi drive has me intrigued a bit. I'm probably going to design one this summer and see how far I can get. My team is pretty hesitant to use omnidirectional because of lack of pushing power and ease to build. I'm still going to do what I can though. How would you calculate gearing for a kiwi robot?

Interesting ideas:
Drop down tank drive like 111's
Shifting kiwi (AM shifter, anyone?)

Thanks,
Daniel
