Well done for a first year team, granted you're not all first year members. Looks like a drill and CIM drive. I see the Van door motor for a rotational, but dose that drive front and back rotations or is each set of track rotated by a separate motor?

We have the van door motor pulling on Spectra cable (the thin string in the picture) attached to two bars that attach the front two trucks together and then the back two trucks together. When the the motor is driven, you get the aboved picture. When you cut the power the motor back-drive to allows us to go to a tank drive. This also allows us to contour the ramp for better traction, beause the trucks can free articulate on their own.

PS: talking to some people online, our team might even be able to climb up on to or over some king of the hills.
