 There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. - scali [more] |

Video: Team 114's Tricycle
So some of us were packing for SVR last Saturday and we were looking at a spare swivel module from our 2005 robot when we thought "how cool would it be if we used that to make a tricycle". So we began designing and three days later... VOILA, an awesome rear wheel powered, rear wheel steering tricycle. Everything used on the tricycle were spare parts lying around the lab, we even dug out the chair from the depths of our storage container
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2GuSs2cdhU If anyone going to SVR wants to give it a ride, come on tomorrow at around 7:30 am, I will be hanging outside the entrance driving around until they let us in at 8:30. Let me know what you think! Mike C.

Re: Video: Team 114's Tricycle
Our team too has a tricycle! Some members of our team welded the frame before I was on the team and it looks like a trycycle but it has a spot to mount motors and batteries. One of our team members crashed real bad on it. I hear he scraped his face against the ground or something. We are the reason for the "No motorized scooters or trycycles in competition area" rule.

Re: Video: Team 114's Tricycle
Hmmm.... that would be fun to have an off season race with creations like this......
 That thing would be awesome with 2 swerves and 4 CIMs, think of the accelerations...... -John Last edited by John Gutmann : 15-03-2007 at 14:14.

Say, I remember having that module in our robotics room for a couple of weeks

Re: Video: Team 114's Tricycle
Heh, I doubt we could bring it to ATL, considering if we go at all we would be flying, and I don't want to know how much they would charge us for this overweight and oversized beast
Currently the tricycle is sitting in my van, which I will be driving to SVR tomorrow. If anyone knows where I could store it while I drive the real robot, I'll bring it out for sure. The steering wheel was actually a wheel that came in the KOP a while back, I'm not quiet sure which year though...

Re: Video: Team 114's Tricycle
I have to say I suspect I speak for more than a few of us when I say "Hey WE need to build one of those"
What a great idea, as an advertisment for new members that should work great! Luck with what lays ahead for you guys! Eric Stokely team 360 "Segway batteries don't last forever"
