And I thought we were having real issues during Einstein. next week we are going to open for the first time the gearbox that broke in Einstein QF match 1 that we replaced. I will post a photo

That isn't a mecanum wheel.

I can think of one Einstein those were definitely on.

Overdrive?

Technically, wouldn't lunacy wheels have had a bigger representation on Einstein (as drive wheels) than mecanums? Even as non-drive wheels, maybe.

What a heroic wheel! I thought it had been packed with chewing gum when I saw it at first...

Wow. As long as they worked it's a good fix, right? Congrats again on winning Curie! Good luck in China!

Still waiting for hot dog wheels!

Seriously, that is an amazing pit crew patch job. If I were with your team, I'd make a bunch of buttons with this picture, and the phrase "The Ugliest Wheels on Einstein", and wear one with honor.

Unless someone can tell me of another time where a team with wheels held together primarily by epoxy made it to Einstein, I think they're about equally as likely (as, to my knowledge, 2015 was the only year a mecanum bot made it to Einstein).

In fact, if you go by wheel count (as we only destroyed two wheels) you could say that mecanum wheels have actually seen more representation on Einstein than yolo epoxy wheels.

Technically mecanam wheels where on Einstein this year; some teams used them for their Boulder intake.

2590 also had a mecanum intake on Einstein in 2014.

These wheels were one match away from Einstein: https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24706

Nope, but 2171 was running them and were Finalists on Curie that year. IIRC 2015 was the first year of mecanums (and Kiwi drive) on Einstein.

How did 2171 get a hold of them a year before?

That's hysterical, regardless. I was joking.
