Thumbs up

Miss Daisy, winner of the Galileo Division, is completely 2-speed free.

I think that our most useful robot ability was having a flawless autonomous mode. Our speed was medium, but that was perfect when it came down to staying on the ramp and pushing others off.

That's not to say that having multiple speeds is a bad thing... Team 341 plans to design one pretty soon. I personally feel that having anything but a multiple-speed drive will eventually become extinct (or something like that).

368

team 368, mckinley was seeded 1st in Silicon valley, (regional finalist)
seeded 5th in the seattle, and regional winners
had a shift on the fly 4 motor transmission(technno cats design)
we were able to push almost any robot around with the exception of 254, (cheesypoofs) when they had their anchor down.

i was the robot controller, but when i drove around, i drove in high gear, (practice rounds)
and i flew over the ramp and dented another robot (sorry millilani)


we were able to clear out alot of the boxes in other zones because of the second gear

Team Rush 27 won the Buckeye Regional, runnered up in the Great lakes Regional, seeded #2 in the Newton Division and lost in the semifinal round.

We are a Bosch/Atwood combo planetary shifter trans bot. The trans was extremly durable this year. We had one of the fastest Auton modes in FIRST at 3.1 seconds to the top of the ramp and had plenty of pushing power.

Ours is a shift on the fly using pneumatic cylinders for crisp shifting. I posted a couple of JPEGS in the Gallery a few months back.

I wouldn't say the transmissions alone were the reason for our success this year. It was a combination of a durable chsis design, a strong arm mounted to a turret, pneumatic wheels, and having 6 wheel drive with the center wheel articulating up and down.
