T-190 has been known in the past for doing things that haven't really been done before...as in the original translational drive systems of 1999 and 2000. This year we have two CVT's that power our bot anywhere from 2 feet per second in low gear, all the way to 14 feet per second in high gear where we have it limited. We also acomplish this by keeping the drill motors at their peak power output and optimum cooling speed. One cool thing about it is that we use the same CVT's to reel in the goals once we are hooked onto them, giving us full speed if there is no load on it, but then down shifts once a load is attached. At VCU once we grabbed on goal and anchored, one robot tried to pull the goals from us, but we just kept whinching them in sideways...it was way cool...can't wait to see everyone at Silicon Valley in a couple of weeks, and at Nats at the end of April.
