Bomb Squad Pictures

I've got my KSC pictures now, I thought these Bomb Squad photos might be valuable to those who haven't seen them. They weren't the champs in FL, but they are very impressive. Check em out for yourself.
The picture below is a close up of their back drive system (opposite end from the big wheels). That white wheel in the back is one of a pair, they elevate the chassis and retract at the end. I'm not sure if the tank treads are used in open-field manuevering or just puck climbing. :-Dan


This picture shows there pole arm, it works very well.

My only comment is WOW! Now THAT'S a timing belt!!!

Hats off to The Bomb Squad.

Greg, do tell, what is the source of that monster timing belt?

Dan,
Thanks for the publicity shots. The white castor wheels are used to keep the tracks off the floor in high-speed. If we need power and traction, the castors are raised and the tracks are engaged. Note the pot just above the rear wheel that gives feedback on castor position. We are driving the tracks with the Fisher-Price drives and the front wheels with drill motors. In years past we had shifted the transmissions on the drill motors to get two gears, but were never very happy with the reliability of that arrangement. We went with the "half-track" system in part because we couldn't fit full tracks within the twelve feet of belting that is allowed.

Greg
