Re: pic: Check out them wheels
Well, with direct drive from the Toughbox and a 16" wheel, I'm calculating about 24ft/s. Maybe they plan on bouncing off the end walls to get around the track.

Is there a "custom" coupler on the back side of that wheel? It looks to me like the wheel already has a broached hub on it, which would make it quite easy to mount to. Any details?

Best of luck,

Bengineer

I would be more worried about tripping breakers with a setup like that.

Re: pic: Check out them wheels
WOW.. Cool wheels... and they ARE big so I guess you expect to run really fast. I think the fastest I would try to control a robot in such an enclosed space as the field is 16 FPS tops. I'll have to watch video of the regional you go to. ( I think if you have wheels THAT big you also have to install airbags...)

Better than last year's drive...

Oh, and Steve: L.A. typically doesn't have a webcast. The SOAP videos from last year's elims are in a format that no media player on my computer is able to read--.m4v, or something like that.

The movies play for me with the videolan player....although I can't be certain where the codec it uses came from, as I have several video players on my computer.

Re: pic: Check out them wheels
If you notice, the frame ends not too far away from the edge of the wheel. I'm guessing the robot isn't more then 24" long.
