What drive/steering system are you guys using? The control looks REALLY nice and it has a 'creepy' glide factor to it when in operation.

Also, what happened at the last match with your turret? It looked to me as if the computer went insane.

Will you guys be going to any other regionals? If so, good luck, and we hope to see you at Atlanta! (providing we get our funding....)

We have a swerve drive system where all of the wheels rotate, two left wheels and two right wheels rotate and drive together. The control is vector drive, where the joystick is angle and magnitude, the driver also has a traditional skid steer input. This combined with our traction control gives very good control.

In our last match we sustained a very large impact, and it caused the power connector to our analog breakout to come lose, disabling our robot.

We will be at Davis next weekend, thank you and we hope to see you in Atlanta as well!
