Re: Drive Trains

I was the driver for 2207 this year and I really liked our drivetrain. We had mecanum wheels and they were very helpful with easily moving around the field and getting around obstacles since we could move sideways. I also got us out from being tangled up with a robot that fell on top of us and having the mecanum wheels helped alot. They also helped in making a very easy Hybrid mode as we could move sideways to cross the second line, since we don't have to turn it was very easy from a programing point.

Any ways Drivers are a key along with the drive train and wheels. We used the AndyMark 8" wheels with the AndyMark Toughbox gearboxes on all of them
