Probably to provide a VERY small amount of traction on the ramp.

Are those white gears Delrin?

If they are, thats a whole lotta Delrin.

Wow. It looks like they plan on getting on top of the ramp and staying there.

I'll answer this one (but not many others). That spiral thing is there to act as a mini cam thingy that moves the largest pulley and tightens the track. When you turn it, it presses against the bolt, and slides the axle of the pulley down a slot in the frame. Works pretty well.

Clark has already told tigerbolters that there will be six motors. I'd expect that there may be an interesting twist on what they do with them though

Darn! I was going to answer! It took me a few seconds, but I figured out it was for tensioning the tracks.

Not that it matters a whole lot... but that space in between the two tread systems looks like a nice box stacking area...

I just noticed that the internal frame looks likes steel. Is that just a temporary structure or are you building a real tank?

It's aluminum and your the second person to think it's steel.

our team decided not to use tracks this year for one overriding reason. with tracks, you can't really straddle anything. When you reach the top of the ramp, the front half will stick out a couple inches in the air. If another robot is coming from the other side of the ramp and slams into you when your nose is in the air, you're gonna get tipped. hasn't this bothered anybody else?

no offense meant to team 45, those tracks look awesome - this is just an observation on tracks in general
