I myself have nothing FIRST-related planned for this summer. However, one of my friends and teammates is designing probably one of the coolest drive system ideas I have ever heard of. He is trying to make it possible for a robot to switch from crab steering to 2 wheel steering to 4 wheel steering to skid steering just by using something similar to a shifter on a car. Also, he wants to be able to use 2 or 4 wheel drive in skid, 2 wheel, and 4 wheel steering. If he pulls this thing off, I am sure we will want to have it on our robot this coming year. Unless... walking robots, anyone? Anyways, it would be one of the coolest drive systems I have ever seen since there would be 7 different drive and steering combinations one could use. Even if it does not make it onto a robot anytime soon, can you imagine a better training device for drivers to use year after year? I give many kudos to my friend for his awesome idea and dedication.
