Re: Treads
Hi,
Treads should be a good solution for this year, and I have spent most of my time since kickoff facing this same issue. Depending on the design of your robot you can have your treads in the interior of your frame, but considering they are constantly breaking compared to most other drives it is horrible to have to take apart a bunch of crap just to get access to them. Depending on the type of treads you are using you can also mount bumpers directly off of them in my interpretation of the rules, as long as your bumpers can extend pass the treads and cover the corners, which would require some complex bumper design. I have seen. If you have an idea of what your frame is going to look like and where you want treads you could post a simple sketch and I would be happy to throw up a few ideas. If you have some skill with CAD I can send you an assembly of the bumper system I designed for a robot with external treads.
