 FIRST is like riding a bike. At first it may seem hard and confusing, but after a few tries you get the hang of it and its smooth sailing from then on out. - Tom Bottiglieri [more] |

Re: Japanese Rovers
I seen this in person in Japan at iREX, it was an interesting drive system for sure. I took a video of it too, but my video is not as good as the video already provided.

Re: Japanese Rovers
Thank you for posting these! I was very excited when I saw them a week ago. Someone on my team just emailed me this link: http://web.mit.edu/mobility/publications/WA2-4.pdf
It is the final report given by the Japanese creators. Very interesting read

Re: Japanese Rovers
I saw this a few weeks ago...very cool.
It reminds me of this our original Killough prototype that used spherical wheels. Though our wheels weren't powered in both axis, the idea is similar.
