Re: Drive Train & Control Types '07
At the Silicon Valley Regional, I saw a few teams with omnidrive wheels (two, three teams maybe), only noticed one team with Mecanums, and a lot of 4 or 6-wheel tank drive systems. A few rocker chassis, too. I know teams 100 and 254 were running rocker chassis setups.

675 ran a 4-wheel tank drive setup with one CIM+Gearbox per motor.

We also saw one or two teams with authentic tank tread setups, I know 670 (Homestead Robotics, HRT) ran tank treads.

I forget the number of the team, but I saw a mecanum-bot going sideways at the practice area at San Jose and it was really cool looking -- now I want to build a bot with Mecanums.
