Yes, we were Dark Matter last year. This might be what our drive train looks like, but we might just be messing with you.

Re: pic: FTC 546 teaser

I doubt it's the drive train, that would be a little absurd. I'm guessing that they are somehow using this to bring the rings up to the top of the robot.

Re: pic: FTC 546 teaser

by the 12 wheeler design I'm guessing you guys are using the extra friction to manipulate the goals? Perhaps drag around some goals as well?

Its a cool drive base.

edit: lol I just read the above post. wasn't even thinking about how this could be a manipulator

Re: pic: FTC 546 teaser

It could be the minipulator, it could be a drive base, or it could just be something randomly laying on the table in my garage...the world may never know!!

For reference, here's our 2007 Championship robot:

10 wheel drive with 6 motors is quite useful, actually...

Wow.

I'm in love with that manipulator--it looks like it's darn near automatic. Any chance for some shots on CD-Media?

Re: pic: FTC 546 teaser

One of our FTC teams came up with the same concept to pick up rings, but they've had a heckuva time trying to keep the rings on under bumping or without chains breaking. Looks like you guys have found a better design for it than they came up with.
