Re: Drive Train & Control Types '07

We used the 2 omni 2 traction wheel method like other teams. With 2 motors to a transmition (having 2 transmitions, so a motor per wheel essentially) we had plenty of pushing power and speed which made it easy for us to defend or score. Even though it gave us the power and speed we needed, it wasn't enough aginst an all traction drive system (that wasn't pretty....)
