Re: pic: TerrorBytes 2015 Shooter Bot

Just wondering - So are the wheels connected to the sims directly with a chain drive, or is there a gearbox hidden in the frame?

Sperowsky's right, you can actually see the top of the Toughbox gearbox on the drive train. It's a completely stock drivetrain, our focus was just on building the superstructure on top of whatever drivetrain we had around. The shooter though it currently powered by that single CIM using belts and no reduction. Because the outside plates are identical though, we could mount two CIMS (one on the outside of each plate instead of a single one on the inside) and double our power for the wheel. Right now it looks like we'll be able to fire relatively rapidly with only the one, but it's an option.

Thanks for clarifying!
