Are you kidding Travis? Looks to me like it is 4WD powered by two CIM motors thru some SWEEET AndyMark (?) two-speed gearboxes. I would bet it has plenty of traction.

I hope the rear wheels are omni wheels so you will be able to turn easily.

No, Stu... look closer. No AndyMark stuff here. This is all their own.

They are using the kit gearbox, going into their own custom gearbox with their own shifter. Those side plates to their gearbox are machined aluminum. With custom wheels and a custum dual-speed shifter on either side of their robot, these guys have an excellent setup. This is a design to look forward to at the Vegas Regional.

Oops ... I guess that shows how closely I have been examining the A/M products ...

Great looking base guys (and girls?) ...

Those wheels are pretty tractionish. We are using the 4 inch wide version of these wheels and they grip very well.

Yeah we hope to pretty that up a bit, but if we don't it won't hurt our functionality Just got back from testing everything. Works great, a few little kinks of course but we'll have those hammered out hopefully by Saturday. I'll try and get some pics of the finished product after our "lexan guy" makes our shell. He is a student's dad who makes signs for Las Vegas Casinos, so it could be very interesting
