Yes, AM Planetaries. John wanted ones that were red anodized, but we don't have those yet.

148... this is a bold design. It looks wonderful. I can't wait to see it in St. Louis. Kudos to your team for having the guts to take this path.

I'm guessing this is it, with a very fancy and robust flagpole indeed. I count 7 victors and no relays on the electronics panel from what I can see. 6 victors for the central swerve gearbox and 1 victor for the module rotation motor (a globe probably) It looks like 148 is gonna be doing a lot of laps this year, I can't wait to see it in action.

I've seen those swerve modules somewhere before...

I think they were pulling our leg the entire time.

what that is crazy.!.?!?!...

[clydefrog88]

any chance of getting a shot of the other side of the transmission? It looks awesome. Also, what's the top speed?

[gallo26]

Those look absolutely amazing!!!!!!!
That completely defeated the problem with swerve/krab drive. Having to constantly rewind the wires on the drive motors. This here got rid if that! looks awsome!
possible to maybe get some designs for our summer robot!

Maybe another pic from the other side?

BTW Good luck at competitions!! see you guys at the Bayou Regional!

Wait a minute... there's balls in this year's game?! Why didn't anyone tell us?

In reality, our students decided on our strategy this year. We worked together as a team to brainstorm ideas at the beginning of the season, and they liked the 'racecar' idea best. We prototyped and later decided as a team to proceed with the design you currently see. The very nice compliments on our 'gutsy strategy' really should be directed to the young ladies and gentlemen on our team who worked very hard on this year's robot and never faltered in their decision to make it work. It has been a long time since I've seen kids this dedicated to their creation.

How much does that gearbox weigh?
