Team 548 Drivetrain

Wow this is one of my fav drive trains i have seen so far. I mean ours is nice, but we have done it before =P. I'm sure that GM had a LOT of input into the design. Seeing as the steering and diff is right up their ally. Quick question though, will you guys be having any kinda of a ball manipulator?

Actually, this was mostly a student design, we modeled it off of our RC Nitro cars, and it actually has parts that are modeled off of an RC car... About the manipulator, yes, that mounts on the top, it is currently being built on the robot, and should be done by tommorow so we can test and stuff....

that is an amazing drivetrain I am realy amazed that you pulled it off.

I wanted to do something like this. how long did it take to design it to work right.

Not very long, it took about 3 weeks total build, just to make everything work like we wanted it too, but we think that it will repay us with the speed
