Wow....

so you were good without traction control, a fan, and what appears to be another motor for dumping? I'm scared of how much better you'll be...

Could we see a rookie leading an alliance to Einstein?

2753 already had traction control. Apparently, this version is better!

This is one of the great rookie teams this season, good luck!!!

Is that motor for your fan? If not, what is powering it?

And as if their original robot wasn't good enough.

Team Overdrive is one of the best rookies i've seen in several years. Keep up the good work, but don't get too good(too late)!

I don't know, I think that 2056 was a pretty good rookie.


Nice fan should really help you in such a hard division.

Seriously though, Specs?


Looks to me like a ~20" APC or Zinger directly driven by a single CIM ... (you might want to do your calculations for current through the motor )

I completely forgot about them. 2056 was THE best rookie I have seen overall. No one really stuck out last year. However, 2753 could make it farther than 2056 did in ATL, and that could change my opinion.

No offense to 2056, who is clearly one of the elite teams in FIRST now, but I think 2753 is better than 2056's rookie bot (pre-IRI, I'd give the nod to the 2056 IRI bot which had a very subtle but very significant difference). That being said, I'm not sure if 2753 is the best rookie this year once you also consider 2826, 2970, and 2775. All four of those teams (as well as 2815, 2809, and others) will be in the mix for the Rookie All-star and unofficial "best rookie bot" honors.

How do you plan to mount the fan?

Its a 24x6 XOAR and yes it does draw a massive 36 amps at full tilt, but the breaker and motor seem to deal with it just fine. I did add a heatsink to the backside of motor to keep things more cool.

Sick Tyler, just Sick. I have one objection though, thats not a fan.... That's a @#$%&* Propeller!

Best Of Luck on Archi... Not that you'll need it . You have a Fan Now
