It was growling at me and it made me flinch, but it was worth it.

Re: Thunder Down Under's driving robot

The offset 4 wheel design is interesting. How does it compare to a six wheeled design in terms of mobility and battery drain. How does it fare on the bump?

Re: Thunder Down Under's driving robot

Nice to see that you have it working! Just out of curiosity, why the offset 4wd? And do you plan on adding two more wheels to help with the stability?

Good luck, can't wait to see you guys up here!

Re: Thunder Down Under's driving robot

I sat there forever trying to figure out why you had an offset 4 wheel... Then I figured it out.... You had mounting blocks for the other 2.... The other 2 haven't come in yet have they?

Re: Thunder Down Under's driving robot

Great job 3132! I thought that the best part of that video was the expression on the student's faces when it moved and started spinning. Everyone looked so proud!

Re: Thunder Down Under's driving robot

About the offset wheel design, yes, we have other wheels waiting to be put on. 2 of the guys are taking a 1+hr bus ride (each way) to pick up bearings this morning, then we'll mount all the wheels.

Actually, that was my mom. My family and I used to live in NH, and for the past two years I was on 2342. We are part of a secret CIA operation to bring FIRST to Australia, and our team is "not entirely" funded by the CIA. But don't tell anyone...

As Steve mentioned, the only reason we had an off-set 4WD system was we didn't have enough bearings. Getting the imperial parts for the AndyMark wheels is a LITTLE hard in a country using the metric system. Two of our students are currently on the public transport system (they have to take 2 trains and 4 buses) going the whole way across Sydney. They expect the trip to take 2-ish hours each way.
