The 2nd and 3rd bot are both new. One has a butterfly drive, the other is a really, really, really simple to manufacture 6wd based off of vexpro's product line. Both have the same frame dimensions and perimeter so they will share common superstructures. I assisted with the design of the drives, but after that it's on them so it's up to the students if they want to post details.

Aside from comparing the two drive options, it's more a lesson in process management to the students than anything else.

I've provided design review, but fundraising, scheduling shop, managing fab, managing workflow, assembly, etc... has been on the kids. They've been doing a solid job so far.

They're competing sep 14 in sacramento, oct 12 in san diego, and at this event.
