Good God! Is that 4 CIMs per side for the drivetrain?

[President 1502]

I thought only 6 cim's were allowed this year.

Looks like 3 CIMs per side, there is a 4th on one side resting above the frame, it doesn't look mounted to me, and are those versa wheels I see? Nice job, looks great!

6 CIMs, 2 miniCIMs? Or extra CIM to confuse? Seems like the driver will be the power source for climbing? I'm no expert on mechanical matters, but maybe the pneumatic cylinder engages a power take-off. Is seems like shifters are unnecessary with so much power on the drive as you can be both fast and pushy.

Just a guess, so feel free to prove me wrong.

We'll miss you at the Phoenix Regional this year.

I wish I could coax our students to properly label the wires such as I see here. Nice job!

[Blackphantom91]

That's a pretty nifty drive-train you got there. Wonder how you are going to do the other activations. On the cool part you can just speed too wherever you want. Love the robot so far!

Looks like another stellar drivetrain for 610.

Intriguing #35 chain there. Even more intriguing is the massive smiley face.

This picture makes me happy my team is using talons.:-)

One of those gears in the drivetrain looks a little out of place. I would guess it's there for pto

Agreed, 6/8 "CIM" single speed w/ PTO.

[Jim Wilks]

Beautiful job so far!

Ooh...strong drivetrain. Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.

This thing looks like it's built for power. That PTO seems good with the 6 CIMs, but if it's not a PTO, that seems a little bit of overkill for a DT in a game where defense isn't going to be too common.

I dunno, man. This is the most open field since 2007 (excluding 2009 for obvious reasons). I feel like this is a good year to gain an advantage with incredible drive trains, but I get that feeling just about every year.
