That was probably from one of my presentations. I've got the videos on this computer, too. I'll try to find it and put it up somewhere if Cory doesn't beat me to it.

Here's a link to one video of that robot...

If you remember any other videos from my presentations that you haven't been able to find shoot me a PM and I can send them to you or send you a copy of the presentation itself. I'm like a packrat, and keep everything I do related to FIRST, even though I'm not involved anymore.

My favorite robot to work on was my 2003 robot. It was a 6-motor swerve drive (the first non-coaxially driven swerve on the west coast) using Drill and CIM motors to drive the wheels and the two Globe motors to rotate the modules in sets of 2. It was designed by a 19 year old non-engineering student, a 19 year old philosophy major, a 19 year old civil engineering major, and a 17 year old high school student. There are lots of pictures floating around of it, but if you're unable to find any let me know and I'll find them for you.
