Not sure. It was Thursday night at IN state champs, Andy Baker driving the totebot from the sidelines.

This it the bot so far, it shouldn't take too long to build. We are planning on getting the 2015 robot to be able to chase it

I'm picturing a bunch of people in the room having a meeting nonchalantly while in the background your robot is chasing this tote around.

If you wanted to use pneumatics on the drive train, you could use a butterfly type drive, with the back traction wheel up inside as the axle/pivot point and just use 4 mini pistons to keep the tote elevated and be able to pop the wheels up inside. http://www.teamneutrino.org/seasons/...bot/butterfly/

I can just imagine that conversation.
" so this chart shows..."
" excuse me, but what is that thing doing?"
" fighting crime. Against boxes. Next question"

Our robot is named the black knight. I just got the idea of painting the box joker colors and giving the black knight a cape. Lol.
