That's a really cool idea!

If you do, I'd say that you should have a frame around it so that the bumpers don't tilt out of the bumper zone.

I've played with a robot that had a very similar drive train way back in 2000, it had hard plastic wheels on the outside, high-traction tread in the middle, and saw blades on the inside for ice traction. Not used in FRC competition, unfortunately.

I would recommend using pneumatics to deploy/retract the sides. Have fun with it!

Re: pic: BCRDrive- everything Nonadrive does, except comparable!

neat idea..

no reason that the pair of wheels couldnt be mounted to the same output shaft of a toughbox or similar.. (given that it is of sufficient length)
however..
to make it work well I would think that decreasing the size of the high traction wheels JUST ABIT would be beneficial and planning to tilt the mechanism so that the (the high traction wheels) came into contact with the floor) would be of advantage..

i would also suggest that using pneumatics to drive this would be the best plan of attack..

not sure if we will explore this topic further (team 2229) but its neat..
thanks for sharing.
