Re: A new drivetrain Idea?

There is really no need to create such a complex drive system. It would create so many more problems in the weight catagory as well as for your team programer. Another problem is during a match your robot will be extremely voulnerable to be redirected and trapped. If anpohert teams robot is next to yours while you are switching modes your robot will be spun around using its own power from the motors opening then closing the hindge. If your in the open possition and something gets into your robot while your closing it will jam up your robot and make you waste preciouse time to fix the problem. If you are looking for high manuverabiliy then i suggest using mechanum wheels.
