not my fault when people start guessing at a secret prototype 6wd swerves come up. I'm allowed to be sneaky

[big1boom]

So I am guessing that the letters "6WSD" were hidden into your hint #1.

Also, What motor are you using to turn all 6 modules?

[Dillon Carey]

yes we did hide those letters in the light of Hint #1.
we are using 2 window motors to turn the wheels.

Very cool as expected. The 6 wheel serve is just like you told me it would be


Unlike last year, I am very impressed with your robot from the teaser, even though the video doesn't show the robot score from longer than like 4 feet. The drivetrain and lifter is just sick.

Look foward to watching in dominate in Midwest.

Nice work! Awesome drive and poowerful kick!

See you in a week.

I'm still really impressed they got everything crammed into a package that will fit under the tunnel and partake in every aspect of the game. No more having to sacrifice re-orient-ability for sweeeeeerviness. Nice job guys.

Here is a picture of the modules.

Very cool robot. Can't wait to see it in KC. Congratulations. (Be nice to your driver - looks like a tough job with that drive train!)

[waialua359]

Impressive to say the least!

From the video, it looks like there is a sizable gap (at least 1") in both the front bumpers and the back bumpers. If there is, you may wish to read <R07-A>. I don't know whether or not your inspectors would choose to make you redo them, but with 2 sets of inspectors, it's often not best to take chance.

If there is not, then I apologize for needless worry.

The swerve drive itself is quite impressive, though. How hard to drive is it?

[rbrown1]

Great Job once again. Very impressed with the simplicity of your lifting mechanism. Look forward to competing with you once again and welcome to the Greater Kansas City Regional.

its not to bad, runs like a normal 6 wheel drive till you pull the trigger, then it runs like a swerve drive.

[funggiss]

That is one quick robot hope your not defending the goal were trying to score on in kansas city.

Did you guys get a weight on the drive train alone? No doubt the miniaturization prototyping you guys did in the preseason helped.
