Re: tank drive in this years game

What is vector drive? I feel very naive asking this, but up till now I felt pretty well versed in drive train types/names.

As a guess I believe jblay is referring to what is normally known as crab or swerve.

There is no reason this shouldn't be able to drive so logicalyrandom is likely referring to a different holonomic drive using perpendicular wheels (omnis in previous years)

Re: tank drive in this years game

I believe we will be doing a 6wd tank drive with a slightly lowered center wheel. we will also try to encourage it to ride on the back 4 most of the time.

Re: tank drive in this years game

We have decided to do a 4WD -wide with the wheels shifted back. This will increase maneuverability and because of the trailer, we're not as concerned about tipping forwards.
