Re: White Paper Discuss: Team 670 - Universal Drive Systems: Design and Analysis
I sent it to our new members so they can get an idea of the different types of drivetrains that are out there. I think it gives a pretty good overview.
The one thing I don't agree with is the idea of a universal drive system design that you can reuse every year. I think lots of the fun, joy, and excitement in building of robots (and looking at other robots) comes from the innovation in drive systems. Sure it can be advantageous to the progress of the project to have reusable designs but it is advantageous to the people involved to design something above and beyond.

We didn't need a championship to recognize the kids on our [little league] team and we sure didn't need one to inspire them. If you want to go to the championships then work harder, don't try and lessen the value of the championships by letting everyone in. - FarmerJohn [more]
