Re: Our Team Needs Help on the Drive!

Quote:
1) Which drive looks better for this competition?
The crab module will be better for the competition provided it is constructed properly and the programming is done correctly. However, the crab drive may result in disaster if things go wrong.
Quote:
2) What are the pros and cons of A?
A is more easily constructed and will provide more time for driver training testing etc. It should perform almost as well as B.
Quote:
3) What are the pros and cons of B?
B will be more maneuverable and better able to push in all directions; however it will be much harder to build, design, program.
Quote:
4) Suggestions that we should take under advisement, and any other comments.
If you have never constructed a crab drive I would recommend you build a tank drive as in A and try to design a crab module in the off season. Too much can go wrong during the build if you attempt to try something completely new in a single build season. Try to make what ever you decide the best it can possibly be. Oh and have fun.
