 For me, this is the most powerful message of FIRST, that people can come together and work together to achieve so much, and leave old rivalries, grudges, and hard feelings behind. When people talk about culture change, this is what I hope for. - Aren Siekmeier [more] |

I see where you are going and I have to admit that it looks like it will work. It took me a sec to realize that the 2 back helical gears aren't attached to the input shafts, they are just attached to each other through the cage structure and rotate on bearings. This isn't a new idea, however. All it is is a differential working backwards. Teams in years past have tried this. Many teams don't do this because it requires 2 motors for each set of wheels, and most teams use 2 sets of wheels, so the robot gets heavy fast and run out of room in the drive area to fit 4 motors with everything else.
