PMGRACER is on a distinguished road
27's creation this year might be considered for this. We took an incredible beating this year and came out in one piece. The chasis and arm designs proved to be robust. The chains had come off the sprockets a few times, but alwaays derailled to the inside of the wheel and kept on providing power. The most damage we sustained was from our own mistake during the final match in Ypsi. The auton mode malfuntioned and the bot nailed the arm right into the limbo pipe, bending it. We did not see any damage from another robot.

The drivetrain proved equally robust. The dual motor drive with shifting ran efficiently and very powerfully. We put the bot on the Martin(494) dyno and pegged the needle in low. High gearf was off the scale. We are over 14 ft/sec in high, and around 8 ft/sec in low. We had one of the fastest auton modes this season. The only faster ones were Baxter(16) and sometimes the ThunderChickens(217). Over all I am very satisfiyed with how well this bot lived up to the tasks at hand. The best aspect, howevr, is the enormus effort the students put into the design and build of this bot. We would have had a much harder time building such a dependable machine without them.
