As a late addition to the 2009 FIRST Robotics Conference, The Robonauts will be presenting a session on the evolution of our crab drive wheel box. The official schedule has yet to be updated, but we will be presenting at 8AM Thursday Morning.

Lucien and I will be covering an in depth and technical view of our wheelbox along with justification for many of our teams design decisions. We will share insight from six years of using this crab module and why we've settled on the point we are at.

This presentation will be beneficial to any students or mentors who are thinking about building a crab drive. Building a crab drive can be a nightmare to undertake and we want to use this opportunity to help anyone by sharing everything we have learned. We will have wheel modules from our last 5 robots, a slew of spare pieces, and Pro/E models from 6 years of robots for all to play with.

I want to highly encourage team members to attend the Robotics conference, be it our session or any others. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from some of the top mentors and teams in the country. You can never learn too much!
