Go to Post I swear, sometimes it seems like FIRST has got a room full of monkeys writing code. Maybe the monkeys should spend less time flinging fecal matter at each other and more time testing the code before posting it :-). - Kevin Watson [more]

Looks sweet and simple!

You could power these with Mini CIMs and be legal per recent FRC rules. Two of these (8 motors) would make a zippy little chassis. If the thing had five or six wheels on each side, say 4" Colsons, it could wreak havoc as a Stronghold defender.

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: 4 x CIM Gearbox

How about 7 per side? Is that any good? Although we don't have 8 motor drive.

Yes. Maybe better! With more motors you would be getting air on many of those crossings.

Your intake and high shot are more impressive. I could only find one match video, but in that one your team carried the alliance with 5 high goals, crossing the CDF to secure the breach, and shoving your dead partner onto the batter before making a final high shot to secure the capture.

Re: pic: 4 x CIM Gearbox

Thank you, that was a really fun match to play. At our most recent regional we improve our cycle times greatly and managed 7 high goals as well as low bar and Cheval de Frise. I don't have a video but I hope they will be up soon.
