Heres the video of this years base we have a two speed 8 wheel drive system. I will add a link of the base climbing a ramp as soon as its done uploading. Tell me what you guys think!

How on earth do you get that thing to spin so smooth? It is fast too. Wow. Impressive. Is it anodized or powder coated?

[redbarron]

Thanx,

It is anodized.

Heres the ramp video.

The first angle was about a 45 dergree angle the second is about a 35 and it went up it easily but since we had peg board leaning on a set of steps the robot lost traction and came back down but it will go up about a 35 degree angle with no problem.

your robot is going to be the key ramp climber, thats for sure.

nice and legit if thats all your bot is. any upper structure and your tests are invalid. looks like a good beast of a base.

That looks really good, I hope I get a chance to see it in action somewhere.

Thanx, No we are going to have an arm to score on all three levels. We also have ramps and other ideas for lifting built but I'm not sure if we are going to keep them.

we have the bot in solidworks and with the structure on it the cg is still unbelievably low so if u mean tipping than we are pretty optimistic that we will be able to go up this incline after installation
