Go to Post So yeah, everyone please remember that lathes are one of the most dangerous machine tools you'll encounter. And keep your hand on the chuck key whenever it's in the chuck. If you never let it go till it's out of the chuck, it's stupendously less likely to take flight. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

Drivetrains - How are you doing it?

There are a handful of robots out there this year that have exceptional speed, but don't seem to have sacrificed acceleration. Team 27, Rush, is one that comes to mind, as is Raider Robotics Team 25 and Simbotics team 1114. I believe their bots are also close to the 120 limit.

My question is this - to those teams that seem to have exceptionally fast drive trains - what is your setup? I believe Rush uses dewalts, but I haven't been close to their bot to see if they use 4 cims + 4 dewalts and shift them.

To get things started, we use 4 cims and 2 AndyMark supershifters. I'm guessing around 13-14 actual fps (we were very similar to Thunderchickens speed-wise).
