I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: pic: #NotSwerve

Nice Job! Are you still planning on improving the swerve drive throughout the next couple seasons?

Re: pic: #NotSwerve

Whats your plan for these? Are you just making a offseason drivebase, or are they being integrated into your 2014 robot for Minni-Mini, and Gitchi Gummi this summer/fall?

1. Yes, we are doing an offseason drivebase. We finished part 1 of the CAD today.

2. We will likely be using this for the Minni-Mini, but as for the Gitchi Gummi, we would be cutting our time quite close.

Re: pic: #NotSwerve

For the swerve, we don't even have it working. The shadow bot was taken apart (Never really got it working) and the main bot was converted to tank during the MSHSL State Competition. We will probably be done with swerve for a very long time.

We are planning on making an 8 wheel WCD for offseason practice. We have had them in the past, but that experience has left the team and wasn't really past down..

I personally think it would be nice to incorporate this drive into the Gitchi Gummi or Minne-Mini offseason regionals (And redo the robot while we're at it ) but that probably won't happen. We might have to compete with our barely working 2014 thing that could fall apart any minute. Although we did redo all of the electrical and pneumatics and add lights

We have had multiple autonomous' with multiple drive trains this year. We never really could stick to one thing, or at least something that worked it seemed. During the MSHSL State Competition, during lunch and any other time we got, we managed to scrap together a working autonomous.

They learned the most important lesson. Anything that can move sideways is a waste of time where you could have been moving forward with more important things.

Swerve to begin with was a waste of time. I think we got everything to build our drive 2-3 weeks in, built both drive trains, and the rest of the time was fixing everything and getting the other robot working. The robots weren't exactly alike, so when we got the code kind of working on the main bot, we deployed it to the shadow and nothing worked. Oh, and I think it took our programmers forever to fine tune everything on one robot, then fine tune it on the other robot. Everything was a pain, especially when the robot wouldn't even move on the field. We wanted maneuverability, but instead....

Oh yeah, and the first shooter was 100% pneumatic, and we were constantly working on it. Tip for anyone in the future: Don't use a pneumatic shooter unless you get it working REALLY well.

After analysing which drivetrains made it to einstein, and the kind or drivetrains our team has built in the past we decided to give this a try. It will be implemented in a west coast fashion, and is currently being CADed
