4159's drivebase
This year we plan on using octocanum, so here's the drive train moving around a bit and shifting, there will be more to come shortly.

Re: 4159's drivebase
Why octocanum over just mecanum or traction?
Looks good. Should do some loaded tests just to be sure at some point. |

Re: 4159's drivebase
Cool design guys only im wondering why you picked such a complex drivetrain for this years game beside the fact that its awesome ofcource.

Re: 4159's drivebase
Using the traction wheels for going over the ramp since we aren't confident the mecanum will be able to handle this at an angle since not all the wheels will be touching the ground, but we also want side to side movement for lining up the totes. And we would like to be able to deploy the back two traction wheels while on the ramp so we can be more level while placing the stack of totes onto the platform.

Re: 4159's drivebase
Well the drive frame is pretty much done, here is a practice clip.

Re: 4159's drivebase
We're actually hoping that's going to help us out on the scoring platform, since we stack internally it should help keep our robot level while we deposit a stack of totes. Hopefully the front wheels will be deployed on the ramp, but the weight distribution will slightly lower them so our robot is parallel with the ground.
