Re: pic: 340 Jeep Bot

The kids did a great job on this. If it wasn't for autonomous & transmission trouble it could have been amazing. It picked up from the floor & dumped quickly into the lower goal. The body was just for fun. We put it together to test out a new drive train but didn't get very far. The frame held up fine but the IFI wheels wore down quickly & the AM shifters gave us fits all day. They kept coming out of gear. Our re-re-recycled 2005 AM's held up fine in the rookie bot but the 2006 shifters which we had never yet used had problems. I'm not knocking the AM's we had some students in my Robotics class put them together. Time to dissect & analyze & re assemble.

Nice work kids!
