Team 842's drivetrain for FIRST Stronghold!

It took us a long time to get our little robot up and running, but we're pretty happy with the results! Defenses beware!

Looks awesome! Love the drivetrain.

Excited to see what it turns out to be! See you at the Arizona competition!

[Navid Shafa]

Seeing the real suspension system glide over all the defenses gave me goosebumps. I haven't been this excited about a drive train in a while

Great job Steve! I almost missed the end...

watch your bumper zone.
When one wheel goes up the other goes down increasing the height to your bumper.

It looks like the frame perimeter they have established does not go outside of the bumper zone when articulating.

Not surprised to see something bizarre and esoteric yet super effective from 842.

See: 2013 climber. That thing was the kind of system you joke about at kickoff, knowing it's too crazy to pull off with a bunch of students in 6 weeks. They did just fine

I think our articulation has taken into account the bumper rules.... I will let the CADers jump in...

Love the yellow wheels. Oh and the drive too.
