Go to Post Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]

Re: FRC Drive Trains

There's been many drivetrains over the years I've really liked (some decidedly more successful in practice than others)

2003: 45 built a "Ball Drive" that worked a bit like an old ball mouse, but instead of the ball being the input, it was the output. (IIRC this wasn't their competition bot, but rather a proof of concept)
2003: 1075 built a "reverse snowmobile" (two undriven wheels at the rear of a wide orientation bot, and the front was a steerable unit not unlike the belt of a snowmobile)
2006-2008: 1075 built several incarnations of a belted longbody tank drive, with the CIMs inside of the belt.
2010: 1625's 6-wheel swerve
2010: 1075's Invertable swerve
2010: 1114's PTO-lifter
2011: 148/217's Nonadrive and its variants

Another drive concept I'm not sure of its origins:
Kiwi Drive (3 omni wheels, 120deg opposed)
