Smile Mighty Mouse, Mighty Auk, Ball Drive Prototype

Prototype: Here is the prototype Andy talked about. This picture was taken the night of kickoff.

While I think this is great and very cool, I just wonder if this years task was so simple that we can afford such lavash things. What about other teams who can barely move? Were the TechnoCats right to spluge on their drive while many teams still don't move?
We do help people, by donating our robots to other teams, and by producing our "white papers" that we post here every year.

Slipping/Traction: Traction really wasn't meant to be an issue with this robot. Sure it needs some traction to push a stack around or move around, but it's meant to avoid situations where high amounts of traction are needed. Trust me, you probably wont see this robot trying to push anyone off the top of the ramp.

Like Andy said, hopefully our main robot does well enough (like we have much doubt in it), but if a perfect alliance could be made by using the ball drive, I'de bet we'de be all for it.

If you want to see the Mighty Mouse, come to our pit at St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Midwest Regional, or the Championship and you will be able to either drive it (if there are not too many people, or see a demonstation of it by someone).
