Re: Winning Drive Train

Wow, all you guys were only able to push 3 robots sideways? We easily pushed 5, but never did so because we wanted to keep our alliance partners free....

Actually, I'm on John with this one. Anecdotal evidence and stories don't mean anything; what I've learned from this thread so far is that, A) Every drive type so far is the best, or B) some people are exaggerating.

There is no need to toot your own horn, as most people just flat out won't believe you.

As for this game, i don't think a definitive answer to what drive test is best exists. 111 was an extremely good dumper with crab drive, but was it the crab that made them effective? I don't think so, I think 111 with a 6 would've been just as effective. Not to mention, even though 111 was extremely good, I think there are some other dumpers out there without crabs that are better in my opinion. 67 and 217 are tied in my head (along with a few others) for being the best robots this year, and both showed they were extremely manueverable with a wide 6 wheel. I imagine they drove that 6 wheel better than a lot of teams drove crabs.



In the end, people can throw all the stories at me they want, but I'm never going to let mere stories convince me physics is wrong.
