Re: [FVC]: I challenge you to post your Atlanta Vex robot pics
Our team (3053) modified our robot after the PA tournament; it's been done for a few weeks now but I hadn't gotten around to posting any pictures of it.
What's obscured by the arm is that the drive train is powered by 6 motors. Each motor is on a 60 tooth gear, and each wheel is on an 84 tooth gear. The robot is moderate to high speed (relative to other robots we've seen), and has quite a bit of torque. Because the front and rear wheels are linked by gearing, if one wheel gets lifted off of the ground (when driving onto the platform, or sometimes when in a war over the Atlas Ball), all of the torque gets transferred to the other wheel instead of being lost.
Pictures below:
