Re: Team 61 early Practice Video

I think I'll chime in here. (Even though it may not be my place to chime in)

If you've found something better than tracks and you're so <b>sure/b> that you'll move "any" team who gets in your way- let's see it. I'm pretty interested to see this drivetrain and what you use to power it to get so much torque. Sonce torque is what you'll need to move your robot.. unless you used some type of spyder drive? I think if you've found something better than off the shelf traction wheels and far superior to tracks, you should tell everyone about it; unless you want to be selfish about it.

Not to brag- but we thought we had a lot of power last year, and our 2 speed drivetrain is more efficient and more powerful than the 4 speed we had last year.

In conclusion- Im asking for two pictures- your medium(this miracle material/product) of applying the power/energy to the ground, and the transmissions/motors which do this.
