Re: Team 1583's 6 wheel modular drive prototype

With the spare drive in place on the robot we'll have time to repair what broke. In our testing so far the drive is very robust so we hope we won't have to fix it very often. The prototype drive as you see it weighs 17 pounds. The competition drive will weigh about two pounds less.
Could always just put some lighting holes in it. Are 2006 robot looked like swiss cheese but hey it was underweight.
