Re: Attempting the impossible
Team 103, which I am proudly a part of, has beed using relatively the same drive train, which is completely gear driven, since 2007. We were inspired by our long-time friends, 25, and built a whole now drivetrain as an offseason project after the 2006 competition. We were also sick of the problems with chain and decided to revamp our design. We have had no serious problems with our drivetrain since then. Our system has been nearly flawless, and has proved us very well. This year we are planning to make a few modifications to lower the weight, but otherwise, a very solid drive train.
We modified our system in 2008 and 2009 to deal with restrictions and increase speed.
I am confident to say that we have one of the most powerful, allong with one of the fastest tank-style drivetrains in the FRC behind a few powerhouse teams.
If you have any specific questions, please pm me.
