Notes on 469's drivetrain:
8wd with pneumatic tires, 4 CIM through DW trans, I don't know the exact gearing.
Pneumatic articulated Front and Rear wheels (I don't think separately)
Pneumatic articulated ball casters in rear.
No ability to change zones (I guess they could go over the bump, but that probably wouldn't end well with that tower on top)
Pneumatic lock to tower - It locks to the bottom of the tower. They aren't just shoved in the tunnel, they are locked there. They aren't coming out once they get in, at all.
*should* turn well with outer wheels up
Autonomous start positions:
Code:
---------------------[OUR TOWER]----------------------
[their robot]
[Our robot]
--------------------[THEIR TOWER]----------------------
We can get to their tower before they can, if we can do it in Autonomous. Then they would be stuck playing a regular game, without recycling balls. I didn't get a good look at their ball-o-fier or kicker, but both exist and are capable of acquiring and kicking a ball.
