Bot drive
Seeing that it's more than halfway through build season, I figure we can be a little more open with details now:
Our team's testing with our drive system has been very positive, so I think we're definitely going to use it on the final bot:
1. Four omni-wheels driven by 2 large CIMs and 2 small CIMs
2. Four IFI traction wheels on the corners (driven along with the omnis by the small CIMs).
So, we've got 8 powered wheels (with a max of 6 making contact), with holonomic ability.
This gives us holonomic drive (so we can align the whole bot with the target independent of translation) with ramp climbing capabilities. I'll try and post images when we get them.
