I like it, battle bots allows you to do a lot of things that many of us wish we could do in FIRST but unfortunately, never get the chance to.

I'm guessing there are no chains because they are more likely to snap in this situation, the belts hopefully would just slip. Would it be a possibility if the weight allows to just go with straight spur gears to get your reduction down, that way you'll keep your efficiency up a little more than with the belts?

How wide are your wheels? They are your first line of defence against the many plough type bots in competition, so wide wheels are always great (i'm sure greg knows that)


Also do you have a brake in the transmission on that?


Looks great, I love the slotted grille on the side that doubles as a way to lighten the machine. That would look really nice if you made it shinny for competition.
