The modules are pretty similar to what is posted in the CAD in my sig.

The wheel modules are 99% the same, the corner modules are 80% the same.

Adam I have been meaning to ask, who came up with your front intake system? The side to side capability is a ingenious idea. I was wondering if it was a after though that was added on later or in the original design.

The first incarnation of that mechanism in FRC that I know of was Chief Delphi VII in 2002.

It has been very effective this year, utilized by 973, 177, 1477, 2415, and others at various points this season. It was also featured on a couple of 2006 robots, most notably team 27's (they also used the same concept in 2008).

We also use this system on our robot. We call it the "Joe Johnson." It funnels balls down to a single column awesomely well.

Any chance 973 will post their 2012 rebound rumble robot CAD for the world to see?
