I'm the driver for this years BOB, and evidentily the same guy that's been pushing for omnis, go figure.

What Brian (Anubuss) was hinting at is that this drive train actually has so much power that I have to drive the robot at about half power (the values coming from the joysticks are divided by 2). When I want full power, I hit a trigger and the robot flys.

My limiting the power does not imply that we didn't try various power curves in the programing, but I found this to be the most suitable approach.

In fact I also have a trigger to cut power to about 1/4 (actually not power, the input values coming from the joystick are divided).

It has proven to be a very intuitive way to control our robot this year. And if you have the extra buttons, it's worth trying out.

As for pushing power, well, yea, we pushed last years robot sideways accross the carpet of our school leaving a 3 foot skid mark from BOB Seniors tired pneumatic wheels. I don't think the wheels skipped once on the
new robot, it has amazing traction. The wheels are 8 inch by about 1.5 inches pneumatic wheels.

I look forward to gracefully escorting other robots accross the field be it front on or sideways, lol.

Team 85 is registered for nationals this year, myself and the rest of the team look forward to working with you.
